More than 60 performers in more than 20 performances made up 6 hours of magical music and mayhem. Patrons came early and stayed long — the Hunter was flowing with familiar and just-composed music, while the courtyard was full of friends and food. One of our favorite and most lively days of the year, it featured works by another favorite, guest composer Steve Reich.
