Musical Mountaineers Summer Solstice Serenades Concert benefits the first sustainable ecosystem lab in the country
The Musical Mountaineers
7 p.m., Saturday, June 14, Adopt A Stream Foundation’s Northwest Stream Center at the south end of Snohomish County’s McCollum Park, 600-128th St. S.E., Everett
The Musical Mountaineers and friends will be performing a Summer Solstice Serenades Concert benefitting the first sustainable ecosystem lab in the country. The Adopt A Stream Foundation’s (AASF) Northwest Stream Center serves as a unique concert venue.
“Everyone will have time before or after the concert to tour the Northwest Stream Center Nature Trail. It goes past a Trout Stream Exhibit with viewing windows onto an incredible Elevated Forest and Wetland Walk winding through 25 acres of deep forest 3-feet above the forest floor and surrounding wetlands,” said AASF’s Tom Murdoch. “And everyone with access to the Sound Transit Link Light Rail system can have another adventure and, at the same time, reduce carbon footprints. Take light rail to the Lynnwood station and transfer to an Orange Line Express bus directly to McCollum Park.”
The Musical Mountaineers are classically trained musicians with Rose Freeman on piano and violinist Anastasia Allison. They have garnered local fame by climbing high into the Cascade Mountains with their instruments, changing into evening dresses and playing concert-quality music. Their audience is usually limited to cinematographer Mitch Pittman and local wildlife.
However, at the Summer Solstice Serenades Concert, audiences get to see them and enjoy their music in person. To make your evening even more memorable, joining Rose and Anastasia are several of their multitalented musician and singer friends, who you will find delightful.
Tickets for early admission and priority seating between 6 and 6:30 p.m. are $50, and general admission tickets are $40, with seating opening at 6:30 p.m. Reserve your seat now by purchasing a ticket online or calling 425-316-8592.
