sprawling meadow area against a
backdrop of Mt. Jefferson.

Springs tribal elders are welcome

raphy, and original art.

award-winning Native American
flutist, James Edmund Greeley.

yards on rough gravel. Once at the
concert site, the terrain is very un-
even and rocky, unsuitable for
wheeled mobility devices, challeng-
ing for those with mobility issues.

bor Program provides access to
those who might not otherwise be
able to afford a ticket to this out-
door classical music experience.
