Program Spotlight
In the Groves: A Summer Solstice Journey

This unique performance pairs stories and songs about the human connection with trees and the deep meaning we have assigned to them through the ages. Storyteller Diane Edgecomb and Celtic Harpist Margot Chamberlain lead participants on a musical journey across the Arboretum’s landscape, matching harmonies with dramatic tellings of trees and the season. First performed in 2001, In the Groves was designed specifically for the Arnold Arboretum and has taken place every June since. Don’t miss this enchanting experience. Register
In reference to last year’s performance, participant J.K. wrote, “Just want to let you know how much I and my companions enjoyed the Solstice ‘story, song and harp’ event. It could not have taken place in a more appropriate and magical place than the Arboretum at dusk.”
