Mount Rainier National Park is excited to announce that in celebration of the National Park Service's Centennial Birthday this year, the park will be hosting classical music performances by Music in the American West. These concerts will take place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 12, 13, and 14^th. 

• Friday's performance will be at 7:30 pm at the Ohanapecosh Amphitheater.
• Saturday's performance will be at 2:00 pm at Paradise.
• Sunday's event will be at Sunrise also at 2:00 pm.

Music in the American west is a group of seven performers who are touring national parks this year, honoring our country's grandest locations with a new production of inherently American music. The seven musicians as well as the eleven composers of the Music in the American Wild ensemble are all affiliated with the Eastman School of Music. 

Inspired by the natural grandeur of our nation's national parks, the group's music will honor American conservation, and is sure to enchant all who travel to the Mountain to hear this group.
