Gabriel Chamber Ensemble Returns to Perform at Hawk Mountain

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and the Gabriel Chamber Ensemble have partnered to present Music on the Mountain, a one-hour presentation of classical selections sharing the inspirational power of music and nature on Sunday, September 8 at 2 PM. The concert will be held in the Sanctuary’s accessible Amphitheater, a beautiful outdoor space with impressive chainsaw-carved beams and plenty of room for guests to spread out and enjoy the music while supporting and promoting two Schuylkill County non-profits,” Grace says. Seating is limited and tickets cost $25, which includes light refreshments and the chance to meet a live raptor and the musicians during a mixer immediately following the event.

Bench seating and limited folding chairs are available in the Amphitheater and seating is first come, first served. All attendees are welcome to bring their favorite camp or folding chair. Heavy rain cancels. Following the event, ticketholders may use their program book to redeem a 10% discount in the Mountain Bookstore or $10 off a new Hawk Mountain Membership.

“September is the beginning of migration season and is a great chance to explore the lookouts and watch for passing migrant raptors,” explains Sanctuary President Sean Grace. “Many guests plan to arrive early and spend some time outdoors before the performance,” he adds.  

Now in its 35th season, the Gabriel Chamber Ensemble is a Schuylkill County non-profit dedicated to presenting high-quality performances that nurture a diverse community with music that enlivens, enriches, and educates. The ensemble delights its audiences with informative and fun presentations and has worked to initiate community and education outreach programs to inspire musicians of the future. Performing will be Simon Maurer and Dana Allaband on violin, Agnès Maurer on viola, and Franklin Niño, cello.
