Music in the Mountains returns to Nestldown! Hidden in the redwoods on acres of lushly landscaped property in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this exquisite private retreat provides an unparalleled setting. Perfect pairings of food and wine by premier restaurateurs and vintners will take place on verdant lawns amidst gardens beside a koi pond. The mix of pleasures will include a Benefit Raffle Drawing featuring irresistible prizes. This enchanting experience culminates with a chamber music concert in the cathedral-ceilinged wood hall that adjoins the garden. This year violinist Tim Fain, cellist Matt Haimovitz, and trumpet player Tine Thing Helseth will all perform, joining Concertmaster Justin Bruns and members of the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra for an intimate and exceptional chamber music offering. An unforgettable night awaits.
