Social Band, Burlington's lively band of singers, will be performing at the Green Mountain Monastery in Greensboro (420 Hillcrest Road) on Sunday, August 6 at 4 pm. Take a lovely drive to the Monastery; hearing this group is well worth it.
To quote from their website, "Our repertoire is based on the notion that “folk” and “classical” music are parts of a continuum, each with its own distinct flavor. Our concerts feature music from a wide range of genres including: Contemporary works by Vermont composers, European medieval and renaissance music, American shape-note, and traditional music from around the world. What makes such seemingly disparate music work together? Much of this music is modal, most of it is polyphonic, and the harmonies are rich and engaging. In addition, Social Band organizes its programs around themes, weaving poetry and song to create an experience that feeds listeners’ hearts and heads."
This truly is an enthusiastic choral group and it is a rare treat that they would come to Greensboro. You will really enjoy their range of material and their voices. Generally they suggest a $15 donation at the door.
