Savor farm-fresh fare and delightful drinks amidst the beauty of Glen Oaks Farm followed by a magical concert featuring a world-class string quartet, stunning visual projections, and nature-inspired melodies.
We are thrilled to announce our Special Fall Concert on Saturday, September 21: Nature Lies Peaceful. We’re honored to have an exclusive sponsor for this concert, Spring Creek Farm, who will also host our free community open rehearsal on Friday, September 20. Sitting on 165 acres of rolling pasture in beautiful Bucks County, landowner Brent Alderfer is committed to building an environmentally sustainable agriculture model that restores farmland and preserves the natural beauty of this community for generations to come! “We continuously strive for harmony with nature…” These words from Spring Creek Farm resonate in the heart of every artist.
For our main event, please join us in the glorious setting of the barn at Glen Oaks Farm for an immersive experience where our artists will take us on a musical journey starting from Haydn’s string quartet The Dream, stopping to enjoy Summer Tunes by Pēteris Vasks, and Vivaldi’s Summer, on to the heavens with Musica Celestis by Aaron Jay Kernis, and finally landing on Antonin Dvořák’s Nature Lies Peaceful. This homage to the profound relationship music has always shared with nature will be further amplified with projections, created by videographer Zak Winokur, reflective of the natural beauty that surrounds us in all the seasons. I can imagine no more beautiful way to launch the 2024-2025 season together. In the meantime, take advantage of the abundance of organic produce, farm-fresh eggs, and grass-fed beef that Spring Creek Farm makes available to the public.
