Artaria's Adult Retreat at the Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center takes place among naturalists who live on 80 acres of restored prairie and mixed hardwood forest surrounded by hundreds of acres of state forest land. It's an inspiring setting for pre-formed string quartets; strings and piano; and strings and wind groups to get nurtured among peers. The campus flourishes in the Driftless region of southeast Minnesota near Lanesboro, rich in natural resources and cultural history, unique in its limestone karst geology and enchanting beauty.
The 2024Â Retreat weekend features a balanced schedule of individual group sessions with members of Artaria, lively interactive score-study, a naturalist-guided walk through fall foliage, plenty of individual group rehearsal time, and in-town adventures. Â On Saturday evening, Artaria gives a stand-up performance at Lanesboro's destination "Sylvan Brewery" where it's possible to sample a flight, and on Sunday afternoon, participant groups perform for each other "on the Hill".
