This May composer-pianist David Feurzeig embarked on Play Every Town: 252 free concerts in each of Vermont's 252 towns to combat climate change through the power of community and music. With this project David will become the first musician to perform in every Vermont municipality. He is traveling in his solar-charged electric vehicle throughout the state, offering free concerts to bring attention to the interrelated issues of climate and community, while bringing the joy of music to his audiences.
"I want to support Vermont's local communities with live performance in village centers and downtowns, and fulfill UVM's mission to serve as a resource for the whole state."
For this concert, David will be joined by Sheldon singers Jennifer McConnell and Erin Grainger. Like every performance on the tour, this one will include its own unique Scarlatti keyboard sonata: Sonata no. 14 for this fourteenth concert in the project. Other solo piano works will round out the program.
Feurzeig, a professor of music at UVM since 2008, specializes in genre-defying recitals that bring together music of an astonishing variety of musical styles, from ancient and classical to jazz, avant-garde, and popular traditions. These striking juxtapositions, peppered with informative and humorous commentary, create eye- and ear-opening programs that will change how you hear all kinds of music.
