"Like so much of our everyday life, routine jet travel is unsustainable—which means something it's literally not possible to keep doing. I want to model a performance culture that doesn't require hopping on a plane and flying all over the world."

Last 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, while fulfilling UVM's mission to serve as a resource for the whole state."

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.
