John Muir - University of the Wilderness

"Chance" invites you to take a walk in the woods with the words of John Muir.  A musical landscape surrounds you, excites you to follow around the next bend, and delivers you to a deep appreciation for one of our country's most influential naturalists. 

With Muir's own words providing the unifying thread, this transformative production embraces the long standing tradition of bringing the inspiration of the natural world to the concert hall.  In this performance, Muir's writings are celebrated, reflected upon, and reinforced by an accompanying score of nature-forged new music. “Chance” describes their musical landscape as “a place where contemporary, classical, and Celtic music beautifully collide, bringing a drink of pure 19th century water to a 21st century, thirsty for nature’s inspiration”.
