- Salinas, CA (1888PressRelease) October 17, 2016 - The matchless scenery and ambience of Big Sur's Glen Deven Ranch will provide the backdrop for the first of six luncheons to be co-hosted by Friends of the Monterey Symphony and The Big Sur Land Trust to benefit the Monterey Symphony's upcoming season, entitled "Shakespeare in Music."
The buffet-style event is scheduled Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 12:15 p.m. with shuttle service departing at 10:45 am from The Crossroads Shopping Center Park and Ride by Starbucks. Guests will be shuttled to the historic 860-acre seascape that provided inspiration for Emmy Award-winning composer John Wineglass, whose original piece, Big Sur: The Night Sun, will debut in the symphony's season-opening concert. Wineglass, a Monterey Peninsula resident (originally from Washington D.C.) will be a featured speaker at the preview luncheon, discussing the inspiration he drew from Big Sur's pristine vistas and the poetry of Robinson Jeffers while composing Big Sur: The Night Sun.
Guests at the luncheon will also hear from our October concert Trio, Anna Petrova (piano), Rebecca Anderson (violin), and JeongHyoun Christine Lee (cello). That trio, under the direction of Monterey Symphony conductor Max Bragado-Darman, will be featured Oct. 21 (at Sherwood Hall in Salinas) and Oct. 22 and 23 (Sunset Center in Carmel), where they will perform Ludwig van Beethoven's Concerto for Piano, Violin and Cello in C Major, Op. 56 (Triple Concerto).
