As we head out of summer and into fall, I’m reminded that this shift from vacations, summer music festivals, and outdoor adventures gives us energy and inspiration for the coming months. While we might be heading back to school, to busy schedules, and to performances, we can carry the joy of these summer days with us and turn that into something wonderful for recreating these adventures through the music that we program and perform.

Below is a collection of works inspired by National Parks in America. Whether you want to visit the Joshua Trees in California or step out onto a glacier in Glacier National Park, here’s a collection a works to recreate those nostalgic days of travel and adventure and bring them to the performing stage!
