Counterpoint presents The Woods And The Waters concert series July 14-17 at various locations- the first and closest being an open rehearsal at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier on Thursday, July 14, at 7PM. Director Nat Lew writes: "A concert celebrating the rivers and forests of New England and places more remote, including the Prelude to Benjamin Britten's operetta "Paul Bunyan," movements from a cantata by American romantic and New Hampshire native Amy Beach, and a setting by Joan Szymko of a Hopi text, along with a new work by Vermont composer Travis Ramsey and Vermont poet Jim Schley and an extraordinary musical reimagining of passages from Hermann Hesse's novel "Siddhartha" by San Francisco composer Jude J. Navari. " Neil is singing, and there are lots of lovely piano parts for me to play, too! For more information, see www.counterpointchorus.org/upcoming
