Wintergreen
Nelson County, Virginia
“A truly great performance!” That’s how our Mountain Photographer, Paul Purpura, described the closing performance of this year’s Summer Music Festival (WSMF) put on by Wintergreen Performing Arts. Paul was granted rare access to photograph the performance. A real treat for those in attendance as they closed out the WSMF with performances by The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance from New York.

Folks at the final performace of this year's WSMF got the chance to see them in person.The WPA Summer Music Festival runs each year from early July through the first of August. Additional events continue into the fall and winter months.
