Sunday, August 6 - RUTLAND - Grace Congregational Church will offer a concert on Sunday, August 6 at 4 p.m in the sanctuary. The event, Clash of Gold and Silver, will include Grace Church's Music Minister, Alastair Stout, and Vermont musicians, Bill Keck (tuba) and Ron Wold (French horn). The program will include contemporary dancer Zoe Warren, and the world premiere of a new arrangement of an original composition by local composer Daniel Luther Graves.

Daniel Luther Graves is a life-long resident of Rutland, Vermont. He taught Music in public schools for 34 years, including 26 years as Choral Director at Rutland Middle School and Rutland High School. The title of his composition, I'm So Glad You're Here, reflects on the return to his musical process months after the numbing September 11 attacks, and gratitude for the love of friends who also ventured out.

During Faraway Nearby, written by Lon W. Chaffin, we will explore the art of Georgia O'Keefe. Since the early 20th century, the art of O'Keefe has inspired, challenged and delighted us. Today, her connection to the Southwest is simply understood. The desert's hills, sky, flowers and bones became a comfortable vocabulary with which she communicated. This music draws its creative breath from O'Keefe's work. Each of the three movements (I. Bones, Blue and White, II. Hills, Red and Gray and III. Music, Pink and Blue) explores a subject common to her paintings. Each subject presents a dichotomy of color.
