Britt Festival Commissions New Piece to Celebrate 50th AnniversaryThe Britt Festival in Oregon has commissioned James Westwater and Nicholas Bardonnay to create a new piece of photochoreography celebrating 50 years of The Britt Experience. The new piece, which premieres this August with Peter Bay conducting, will draw upon the festival’s image archives, community submissions, and the great historical collection of Peter Britt, the festival’s namesake. The photography will be choreographed and projected alongside the performance of a great classical work as part of the concert “Music, Memories, Magic.
