The Muses presents ‘Into the Secret Garden’

-

The Muses Project of Hot Springs, presents: Into the Secret Garden, a musical quest that starts, “Into the Woods” of wild and unknown adventure, filled with danger and challenge, and ends in the “Secret Garden”, where there is domesticit­y, beauty, hope and flourishin­g. This concert, a cabaret fusion of selections by Sondheim, Bernstein, and others, is a musical allegory that reminds us of the promise of possibilit­ies, in which fears cycle into hope, loneliness to belonging and grief to new beginnings

Distinctiv­e of the Muses’ brand of excellence in artistry, is the unique and thoughtful programing of exceptiona­l classical elements, utilized to create high-quality, new production­s intended to inspire audiences and generate interest in and support for the classical Arts. These programs are designed, rehearsed and initially performed at the Muses Cultural Arts Center, 428 Orange St in Hot Springs, and then toured throughout the state.
