Song Of The Woods - A Concert To Benefit The Land Trust Of Napa County

As winter ends, nothing represents the glories of new beginnings like a walk in the forest. Bel Canto announces its spring concert, Song of the Woods, which will feature music reflecting the splendor of our natural world. Please join us as we perform songs exclaiming the glories of its flora and fauna. Set to the poetry of Shakespeare, Yeats, Byron, Sandburg, Frost, and Joyce Kilmer, the musical settings feature composers Johannes Brahms, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Daniel Brinsmead, and Moses Hogan. A particular highlight will be the evocative triptych Evening Gale by Anthony Bernarducci for chorus, piano, cello, and percussion, and featuring Brian Shaw, pianist, and Jeffrey MacFarland-Johnson, on cello.

As has been our custom, we are presenting these spring concerts as a benefit. A portion of the proceeds will support the efforts of the Napa Land Trust, which works to protect natural land and wildlife in Napa County.
