The woodwind ensemble Heliand Consort will play a new program of songs, chamber music and poetry on Friday, July 27, at 7 p.m. at the York Street Meeting House in Lyndon Corner.
Flutist Berta Frank, oboist Katie Oprea, and bassoonist Rachael Elliott perform music for woodwinds by Vivaldi, Telemann and Mozart, along with songs and solos from the Renaissance through modern eras. Poetry selections will also be part of the program, with guest readers performing alongside the trio. Admission is by donation.
Earlier in the day, at 10:30 a.m., a family-friendly version of the program will be performed at the Cobleigh Public Library in Lyndonville.
This new series expands Heliand's experimentation with their program formats, designed to incorporate readings into their music and background descriptions. "We're playing around with expanding the concert experience beyond just sit, listen and clap," said Elliott, who grew up in Lyndon and was a founder of the Heliand Consort.
All are welcome to either (or both) of the performances.
