Gourmet Dining, Classical Music and A Rural Retreat Make for a Perfect Weekend Getaway
June 25th, 2008 Categories: Things to Do, Weekend Pass
Local music offerings abound (like the Del Ray Music Festival). But if you’re looking for music AND a weekend getaway AND gourmet dining, consider driving about 4 hrs. west to Bath County. There, snug against the Alleghenies, you’ll find it all in a decidedly rural setting. In fact, Bath County has no traffic lights - and for many Northern Virginia residents that might be reason enough for a getaway!
The Garth Newel Music Center in Warm Springs, VA is the unique vision of Christine Herter Kendall who died in 1981.
The center produces about 50 events a year many of which are at night and where dinner may start with a minted pea soup with a scallop mousseline.
This year’s offerings will include a world-premiere composition in August by Pulitzer Prize winning composer Paul Moravec.
