In Nature's Realm
Summer is just getting started – enjoy the sounds of the season! Featuring a work by Glazunov celebrating “Summer” from his ballet suite The Seasons, and Grieg’s Two Nordic Melodies, this concert will include a performance by the winner of the WCO’s Young Artist Concerto Competition, 17 year old Jane Story from Stevens Point, plus songs by Grammy-winning Native American recording artist, performer, songwriter, activist, painter, and flutist Bill Miller.
