Experience the sites, foods, crafts and festivals of Umbria through the pages of this lavishly illustrated hardcover.

Lin Arison invites readers on a journey through Umbria, in the company of Michael Tilson Thomas and the New World Symphony orchestra. Part memoir, part travelogue, this lushly illustrated volume features the sites, foods, crafts, and festivals that give Umbria its unique character. Included are three DVDs: the celebrated MTT on Music; a short documentary on the musicians in Umbria; and a filmed conversation between Thomas and architect Frank Gehry, designer of the orchestra's new Miami campus, opening in 2011.
