Featured events include: The Artosphere Festival Orchestra – comprised of more than ninety musicians from around the world conducted by Maestro Corrado Rovaris- returns for three featured concerts. The orchestra will perform a 10 x 10 Arts Series performance of Russian Masterworks showcasing works by Mussorgsky and Rachmaninoff, featuring Italian pianist Benedetto Lupo, Heroic Beethoven complemented by the American debut of Impetus by Daniel Schnyder featuring The Dover Quartet and Live from Crystal Bridges: Mozart in the Museum featuring soprano soloist Deanna Breiwick and will be broadcast live on KUAF 91.3 FM Public Radio from the Great Hall at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Also included in this two week festival is our signature Trail Mix when community members walk, hike or bike and enjoy nature, listen to music groups performing along the Regional Razorback Greenway and interact with site-specific artwork, such as Polyglot Theatre’s Ants and The Bike Zoo.
