John Muir: University Of The Wilderness

A narrative concert which intertwines the music of American ensemble Chance, and the writings of Scottish born naturalist, John Muir, as performed by actor Thomas Clyde Mitchell. Muir’s words are celebrated, reflected upon, and reinforced by a musical score that has been described as a place where, contemporary, classical, and Celtic music collide beautifully. Mitchell takes us on a journey spanning Muir’s childhood in Scotland, his young life in Wisconsin, and his profound and influential experiences in the great Sierra Nevada Mountains.
