The performance will feature live music from the NWSO accompanied by stunning nature photographs of Washington state, courtesy of WTA. The NWSO will perform popular music by John Williams, Claude Debussy, Ludwig van Beethoven, Antonín Dvořák, and Richard Wagner, as well as a world premiere by NWSO Music Director, Anthony Spain.

The concert also includes an appearance by the Musical Mountaineers, as featured on KOMO 4 and KING 5 television stations.

All photos shown were submitted by hikers to WTA's annual Northwest Exposure Photo Contest, a celebration of outdoor photography and the community of hikers who explore Washington's trails. The contest features six categories highlighting hikers and the landscapes, people, plants and animals they encounter on trail. Winners in each category are featured online and in WTA's annual calendar, available to WTA members. Proceeds will support Northwest Symphony Orchestra and Washington Trails Association, both nonprofit organizations.

About The Musical Mountaineers

The Musical Mountaineers are Anastasia Allison (violin) and Rose Freeman (piano). Both are classically trained musicians and outdoor enthusiasts, who met in 2017 through a serindipedous series of events and carried their instruments into the wilderness for their very first sunrise serenade. Together, they climb mountains with a violin and a keyboard packed carefully into backpacks in order to remind people of the infinite good and beauty.

The Musical Mountaineers don't announce their wilderness concerts in order to respect Leave No Trace principals and to maintain the purity of their mission.
