HANCOCK -- Pine Mountain Music Festival has unveiled a new, updated logo. The new mark incorporates several elements -- including a music note, a mountain, a suggestion of an "M" (for Mountain and Music) and a wave to suggest ongoing movement as well as the lakes that surround the Festival. This mark replaces the pine tree that has served as the symbol of the Festival since its inception in 1991.At the same time, the lettering for "Pine Mountain Music Festival" is rendered in a new typeface that is stronger and more easily readable in multiple formats.
As part of a strengthened marketing program, the Festival is adopting a more colorful approach to its printed material and website (http://pmmf.org), with more extensive use of photos to improve outreach. The aim is to emphasize that the Festival is for everyone and that opera and other classical music have a universal appeal.
The Festival’s 2009 season will run from June 10 to July 12 and will include a wider range of musical fare than in some previous years. The Ellen Rowe Trio will present an evening of jazz; and "Stas and Misha" will present an eclectic evening encompassing classical, folk and ethnic music on the bayan and mandolin, among other instruments.
The season includes a variety of chamber music events by not only the familiar Bergonzi String Quartet but also the Clarke String Quartet and the Sonrisa Woodwind Quintet, as part of the Festival’s Resident Chamber Musicians program.
This year’s opera is The Secret Marriage, a hilarious farce by Cimarosa, a contemporary of Mozart. This opera can be enjoyed by all ages. At its premiere in 1792, Emperor Leopold II was so pleased with it that he fed the cast dinner and then had them perform the whole opera over again -- the longest encore in musical history!
The Pine Mountain Music Festival presents a season of opera, symphony and chamber music each June-July in central and western Upper Peninsula and northeastern Wisconsin. Headquartered in Hancock, Michigan, it is supported by donations, ticket sales and grants. For more information, call 906-482-1542 or visit the PMMF Web site.
