Coming up Thursday on Central Vermont Community Radio - Pianist David Feurzeig's recently launched "Play Every Town" tour comes to Berlin this Sunday, with a local twist. And the Green Mountain Club helps keep the trails open in our beloved mountains—and it's more challenging than you might think.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Pianist David Feurzeig launched a five-year concert tour earlier this year, intended to take him to every town in Vermont. This Sunday, August 21, he's coming to the Capital City Grange in Berlin for a 4 pm concert (followed by a 5:30 potluck), where he'll be collaborating with Berlin pianist Sylvia Parker, an expert on former Berlin resident Béla Bartók. Feurzeig fuses the classical repertoire with ragtime and other influences in fun and funny compositions and arrangements. Feurzeig's motivation for the Vermont tour was to change his performance schedule to align with the changes he sees are needed to reduce global warming. So instead of getting on a jet to distant countries, as he has done before, he is only playing concerts that he can get to using his (solar charged) electric car or public transit.

Hikers are often blithely unaware of how much work it takes to maintain trails in the Green Mountains. Green Mountain Club director Mike Devonis will talk about both appreciated and unappreciated work their volunteers and employees put into the trails—plus how he responds to emails asking, "Have you ever heard of switchbacks?" GMC's Long Trail Day is coming up September 10; he'll talk about fun fundraising for trails taking place on and around that day.
