7th Annual Concert for Conservation to benefit DPNC is April 6, 2014

The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center’s Concert for Conservation, an afternoon of classical music performed by violinist (and Stonington native) Hilary Castle to benefit the center’s educational programs, is Sunday, April 6 at 2 p.m. at Union Baptist Church in Mystic.

Castle will play works by Schubert, Part, Schumann, and fiddle selections by Jay Ungar. She will be joined by pianist Raymond Wong.

“Returning to Mystic to perform music in support of the Nature Center has become a wonderful tradition that I look forward to each year,” says Castle.  “Music is its own reward, but music in support of nature education and conservation is particularly special to me.  As a kid, the Nature Center helped illuminate the world around me.  Nature has had an inherent impact on my music.  My participation in Concerts for Conservation expresses my gratitude for the Nature Center’s work. As Thomas Carlyle says, ‘If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music’.”

Tickets are $20 for DPNC members and $25 for nonmembers ($5 for students). Please call 860-536-1216 to reserve.
