ROMANTIC BEAR VALLEY - THURSDAY, AUGUST 3
Back by popular demand, Mads Tolling is returning to Bear Valley this summer. With the orchestra, he will play a work that turns the Vivaldi's Four Seasons upside down and inside out: Max Richeter's Vivaldi Re-Composed. We are so excited that he is returning to Bear Valley and playing a work that takes a masterpiece and shows a whole new way of understanding and experiencing it. What better place to explore like this than in Bear Valley!

This summer, the 30th Annual Arts of Bear Valley (AOBV) Summer Art Show will once again complement the melodies of the Bear Valley Music Festival with the paintings, pottery and photography of 18 artists from Arts of Bear Valley.
Arts of Bear Valley is an association of Calaveras County artists with roots in Bear Valley. Their works have won numerous awards, appeared in museums and been collected by art lovers worldwide.
The Summer Art Show, long a popular feature of the festival, has been welcomed back by the Bear Valley Music Festival. From July 21 to August 6, festival attendees as well as visitors to Bear Valley can view the art show and meet the artists at the Perry Walther Building next to the Bear Valley Music Festival Tent from one hour before the concert and continuing through and after each concert.
The art show is free for the public to enjoy many new artworks, with original paintings in watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastels and mixed media; ceramic pieces that include totems, sculptures and handmade pottery; and award-winning photography. Of course, all artwork is available for you to purchase.
Artwork purchases support our local artists as well as the AOBV’s community service mission to develop, promote and enhance the visual arts in our rural area. AOBV funds art appreciation and education through programs for children and scholarships for high school seniors. They co-host the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee’s Professional Art Show in collaboration with the Calaveras County Arts Council; and present Art in the Park, a two-week-long art show at Calaveras Big Trees.
This year at the music festival, AOBV artists will lead two free art programs for kids of all ages. Projects will include fun activities like stenciling, watercolor, alcohol ink on tiles, and face painting. You won’t need a reservation on Sunday, July 30, after the concert. If you would like to participate in the art activity on Monday, July 31 and you are not part of Bear Valley’s Summer Camp, sign up when the show is open in the Perry Walther building at the art show’s sales desk.
Supporting the music festival is a high priority for the AOBV. Six artists donated artwork for a drawing: Jan Alcalde, Phoebe Bryan, Peggy Huth, Karen O’Neil, Margaret Sloan and Larissa Stevenson. The Bear Valley Music Festival also has a special donated item—a hand knitted lapghan by the KNITWITZ of Murphys. You can see the items just inside the entrance to the art show, and you can purchase tickets at the art show sales desk.

Oktoberfest in August at The Bear Valley Music Festival
Bear Valley, CA...We know, Oktoberfest is usually in October. We couldn’t wait until then to bring you a musical kiss from Vienna. 800 years of emperors and castles, the former musical capital of the world gave us music that was composed and performed amongst gilded mirrors and audiences with corset satin dresses, whispering about the latest gossip of the emperor’s wife behind handheld fans: Schubert, Haydn, Nicolai, Mozart and Strauss. Musical geniuses. If you think about it: a constant stream of inner melodies, pouring out non-stop, with the only way of “getting rid” of them by writing them down. Gifts of musical beauty for the all us that reflect a society long gone. We’ll toast to that!
For this concert only, Season Ticketholders will have reserved seating at tables near the stage. All other ticketholders will have General seating (first-come, first-serve).
Franz Schubert – Rosamunde Overture
Joseph Haydn – Surprise Symphony No. 94
Otto Nicolai – The Merry Wives of Windsor
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Haffner Symphony No. 35
Johann Strauss II – The Blue Danube
