Music in Manito

While symphonic music might sound best in finely tuned concert halls, seeing classical music performed live under the summer sun is a hard experience to top. Northwest BachFest knows this all too well. The organization once again heads to Duncan Garden at Manito Park for its annual Music in Manito concerts. The show kicks off with the Spokane String Quartet and NW Bachfest artistic director and cellist Zuill Bailey playing pieces by Boccherini and Arensky, while the second half of the show features the fiddling duo of Mark and Maggie O’Connor (both nights feature the same program). While there won’t be concessions for the concerts, patrons can get in the summer spirit by bringing their own food and drink for an extremely well-scored picnic in the park.
