This year’s Ifor Jones Chamber Concert features Festival Artist-In-Residence Vincent Lauzer in both soloist and supporting roles with repertoire including the Telemann Suite for Recorder and Strings, TWV 55:a2, and Bach’s Brandenberg Concerto No. 2, a jovial masterpiece featuring natural trumpet, violin, oboe, and recorder as soloists with the virtuosi of the Bach Festival Orchestra providing enchanting accompaniment. Also on the program are select movements from Mozart’s Serenade No. 5 in D major, K. 204/213a, for wind instruments, a work of kaleidoscopic beauty and a nod to our upcoming performance in Salzburg (where Mozart composed this work in 1775).

Join Wildland's own Veronica Rosenberger for guided spring fungi foray adventure to discover the wonderful world of mycology!
Before we start looking for fungi, we'll congregate for a brief introduction with an accompanied informational flyer. Setting off into the woods, we'll walk the trails as a group at Dorothy Rider Pool Wildlife Sanctuary, collecting specimens to discuss later. The ID table will be full of your findings, categorized and labeled as we talk through some common geneses and species of the day.
The program will cover fungi identification, safety, look-alikes, and resources to help you as you continue your fungi ID adventures.
Please bring a collection bag or basket
There is a fee; please register online.
