Join pianist Julia Scott Carey for a special solo piano performance featuring music from around the world. Set in the Garden’s iconic Limonaia conservatory at golden hour, this one-of-a-kind program will take you on a musical journey across the globe—along the rivers of the Peruvian mountains, across the beaches of New Zealand, through the icy waters of Greenland, and everywhere in between. Featuring music by seven contemporary composers, each piece reflects the distinctive character and beauty of the people and places that inspired it.
