Brattleboro—A fun, family-friendly Halloween concert is next for the Windham Philharmonic on Sunday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Latchis Theatre. The orchestra, under the direction of Hugh Keelan, brings back Jerod Tate's striking Coyote excerpt from their recent performance of Spirit Chief Names the Animal People, with bassoon, piccolo, and percussion showing Coyote's tricky nature, and narration by Maggie Pajcic. The hall will ring with the dancing rhythms of Mexican composer Moncayo's Huapango, and the sweeping runs of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain. Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King is also on the program. Two spooky duets are Rossini's Duet for Two Cats and Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre, sung by sopranos Elizabeth Wohl and Jenna Rae. Halloween treats and maybe a trick or two make a lively hour-long program.
Windham Philharmonic attracts musician from three states and blends amateur and professional players in one musical community.
This concert benefits our concert partner, Groundworks Collaborative, who are working with people and systems focused on creating solutions to end hunger and homelessness for all people in our region. Admission is by donation and costumes are encouraged! Mouth-watering baked treats will be available for donation.
