June 19, 2021 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Diane Edgecomb with harper Margot Chamberlain tells stories among the birches at Arnold Arboretum

Join Oracle-award winning storyteller Diane Edgecomb and Celtic harper Margot Chamberlain for an enchanting evening of ancient myths and folk songs of tree spirits from around the world. Designed especially for Boston’s favorite tree sanctuary, the Arnold Arboretum, this Summer Solstice event takes the audience on a two-hour journey through the landscape with story and music performances at some of the Arboretum’s loveliest spots. The rich cultural traditions of Japan, Australia, Russia, Britain and Native America celebrate cherry, evergreen and ash groves with the evening culminating in the haunting Czech legend “The Wild Woman of the Birch Grove” told among the birches at sunset. This annual event is designed for adults who can navigate an approximately two-mile journey on and off trails. Bring a cushion to sit on for the performance stops if you wish. In case of rain, the audience will be notified of cancellation.
