International soprano Deanna Breiwick and world-renowned pianist Cheryl Lin Fielding return to the Laguna Art Museum on Saturday, August 12th to present an evening inspired by plein air art. This curated program, which translates to Veiled Landscapes, reflects the nuance of plein air painting through handpicked musical selections. The repertoire presented will reflect this art’s relationship to nature, its impressionistic roots, and the landscapes it captures outwardly and the ones it evokes inwardly. This evening will bring to life the essence of why plein air is a treasured art in Laguna Beach.
