Once again we will get our usual stage right front seating in the Gold Circle.  As usual, we’ll bring great snacks and food for a stage front picnic.

We’re so lucky we have the Complete Mozart Edition on CD from Philips.  I’ve loaded the Program One from above into our iPad and have started listening to it in advance of the festival.

Our menu this year is:

  • Sliced tri-tip steak, Santa Maria style
  • Wild rice, clam mushrooms and shallots
  • Pelegrino with grenadine and orange juice
  • Strawberries and cream
  • Hot chocolate
  • Popcorn

This is our third year attending the Midsummer Mozart Festival with Music Director George Cleve and his orchestra.  As usual, we arrive two and a half hours before the music begins to make sure we get good seating.  This hill-side concert was at the Gundlach-Bundschu Winery.
