In an effort to bring classical music to the masses, the Music in the Mountains nonprofit hosts a bevy of heady classical fare in a not-so-heady environment. For those who can’t tell the difference between a Tchaikovsky and Mozart piece without consulting a phone app, these concerts serve as a great way to indulge in Gershwin, Beethoven or even German composer Felix Mendelssohn without fear of ridicule from a snobby enthusiast. The latter composer’s work is on the menu at this midweek recital and features violin player Ray Anthony Trujillo (pictured). 11228 McCourtney Road in Grass Valley, http://musicinthemountains.org.
