Music To Celebrate Oregon's Crown Jewel

Gifford Photographic Collection

Natural history and the arts collide when the Britt Festivals Orchestra plays at Crater Lake later this week (July 29-30). 

A portion of the orchestra, plus student ensemble, plus chorus, perform a new work called "Natural History."

The piece is commissioned by Britt and composed by Michael Gordon.  He and Britt Music Director Teddy Abrams join us to describe the experience of praising one of Oregon's natural wonders in music.
