The Champlain Philharmonic will return to Town Hall Theater in Middlebury on October 14th, at 7:30pm and Grace Congregational Church in Rutland on October 15th at 4:00pm to perform a collection of old and new works to celebrate the start of its 20th concert season. The program will begin and end with two works the CPO performed on their very first program twenty years ago; the Overture from the Magic Flute by W.A. Mozart and the fourth movement of Mendelssohn's "Reformation" Symphony No. 5.

The program will also include selections showcasing the rich variety of American composers and musicians. The folk-song inspired Variations on a Shaker Melody (from Appalachian Spring) by Aaron Copland, a truly unique experience with The Unanswered Question by Charles Ives, a movement from the Gaelic Symphony by Amy Beach (the first symphony premiered by a female composer), a jazz-infused Pavanne (from Symphonette No. 2) by Morton Gould, and Freedom by Milad Yousufi, an Afghan Refugee living in New York City.

Tickets are $15 general, $10 seniors 60+, and $5 students (add $2 fee for Middlebury performance). For more information please visit www.champlainphilharmonic.org.
