Capital City Concerts and the Friends of the Vermont State House presents a new mini-series of consecutive FREE Friday noon "Meditation concerts" on September 6, 13, and 20 in the Cedar Creek Room of the Vermont State House. The free concerts give listeners the opportunity to experience world-class performances in a reflective way through 30-minute meditations to live music. Each concert will be performed by one solo instrumentalist. The doors will open at noon, and audience members will find a seat and begin a period of silent meditation. Music will start at 12:15 and last for 30 mins..The performers will be Jennifer Hoult, harpist (September 6); Karen Kevra, flutist (September 13); and Emily Taubl, cellist (September 20).

She is principal harpist with the New Haven Symphony. Her two solo recordings, available at CDbaby.net, received rave reviews in Fanfare Magazine. She has studied Theravada meditation in Thailand, and China. Her program will include J.S. Bach's Chaconne, Carlos Salzedo's Chanson la Nuit, and Salzedo's arrangement of Londonderry Air.
