The first time you try a new wild mushroom, it is important that you eat only a small amount. Most wild mushrooms should not be eaten in large quantities since they are difficult to digest. Please consume responsibly. The Hook and it’s partners are not responsible for any adverse reactions brought upon by unknown allergies and/or over consumption. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
A Mini Grand Finale – One Night in the Fairy Forest at 480 Arts
480 Arts 480 Prior Avenue North, Saint PaulA sweet story set in a mythical world, a theatrical event for the whole family!This one-woman theatrical show presents a magical world of sprites, fairies, and other mythical beings as depicted in music throughout the centuries. Individual songs are repurposed into a narrative arc with sweet, playful, and mysterious characters. We meet the woodland fairies and their radiant queen, who is deeply connected to nature. She is confident, strong, and head over heels in love with her fairy king, and all is well on earth. Join our event to find out what happens to them.The music spans centuries and genres. We pay homage to Henry Purcell’s “Fairy Queen” opus from the 17th century, Beethoven’s lighthearted Irish Fairy song cycle from 1810, Britten and Humperdinck from the turn of the 20th century, and even contemporary artists such as Bjork and Florence Welch. This lighthearted little fable helps us realize that letting baseless doubts and suspicions into our hearts can cloud our abilities and the beauty of our natures.Gabrielle Doran, sopranoMobile Mini-Concerts Musicians:Marcoantonio Real-d'Arbelles, violinPhil Rukavina, luteCharles Asch, celloAsako Hirabayashi, harpsichordNewly added family event to wrap the MN Bach Festival & Mobile Mini-Concerts Series.
