Mark Kosower Concert

Presented by HVMS

Many of the great musicians of our time have presented classes and performances at Hidden Valley.  Our Masters' Festival Series continues the tradition in the summer of 2017 with five concerts drawing on the talents of our master class instructors for English Horn, Cello, Oboe, Bassoon, Flute, and Jazz Flute.  These master musicians leave their symphony orchestras behind to bring you an intimate evening of music focused on solo & duo instruments as you've never heard them before.
