Victoria's PINNACLE BRASS QUINTETTE love to play in urban cathedrals,and parks. We think YOU will love how they sound on the lawn of beautiful MORNINGSTAR FARM in the shadow of Mt Arrowsmith.

Home of Little Qualicum Cheeseworks, "The Farm" will host our first "Serious Music" concert.. Bach, Mozart, ballet and ballads. We know this fine group of VSO musicians have a lovely arrangement of "SHANNANDOAH" and we will ask them to give us their best SallyAnne arrangement of "This is my Father's World".

While you enjoy Mooberry Wine samples and "classy refreshments', at intermission you will be further inspired by a delightful EQUESTRIAN ballet performance by dressage artist Gina Allen and her horse Cielo. For a full "FARM DAY" come for breakfast.
