Vermont Philharmonic Celebrates Its Return
After two years of Covid-enforced silence, the Vermont Philharmonic joyously returns to the stage with two concerts, on Saturday April 30th at 7:30 PM in the Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro, and on Sunday May 1st at 2:00 pm in the Barre Opera House, with Music Director Lou Kosma conducting.
The program features a performance of a movement from the Jacques Ibert flute concerto by the student winner of the Borowicz Scholarship competition, Logan Crocker. A senior at Colchester High School and a pupil of Lauren Ann Maurer, Logan has performed in Vermont and New England Music Festivals and soloed with the Vermont Youth Orchestra.
The Philharmonic winds will open the concert with Ralph Vaughn Williams's delightful Folk Song Suite, incorporating nine popular English songs. In addition, the strings will perform Mozart's exuberant Divertimento No. 2 in B-flat Major, K. 137.
The concert concludes with Johannes Brahms splendid Second Symphony, in D major, op 73, composed in 1877 -- an opportunity for the Philharmonic to exercise the big orchestral sound of one of the great classical works.
The Vermont Philharmonic is celebrating its sixty-third year of making beautiful music in central Vermont. You can find more information about the Orchestra at vermontphilharmonic.com. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, $5 for students. Tickets may be purchased online or at the door.
