Surrounded by the ponderosa pines of Britt Hill, experience two of the 20th century’s most irresistible ballet scores: Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, a tender portrayal of pioneer life in small-town America, and Béla Bartók’s suite from The Miraculous Mandarin, which traces a supernatural tale of lust, violence, and forgiveness.
