garden of loves – embracing one another as we are, in joy & connection
Anchored by Argentinean composer Carlos Guastavino’s charming and evocative Indianas, our season finale focuses on the things and people we hold dear. We explore the richness of love and life through connection with nature and one another, and the ecstatic joy of finding inspiration. The music of Guastavino, along with Astor Piazzolla, Modesta Bor, and others, invites us to encounter the sublime in its various forms, whether it be a wandering spirit, dark pines in the wind, or the caressing light of dawn.
