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.
Each program is locally tailored and David will be joined by local trumpeter Henry Whitaker, who lived in Waitsfield as a high school student and now lives in Warren when in Vermont. Henry will play the second and third movements of Haydn's beloved Trumpet Concerto, composed for the first keyed trumpet in 1796, the year of the founding of the Waitsfield Congregational Church (now the UCC, host of this concert). Henry will also join David on Chopin's first two Polonaises, written in 1817, the year Waitsfield Village was founded—and when the composer was eight years old. They will also play Henry Clarke's crowd-pleasing Maid of the Mist.
As with every concert in the project, this one will include its unique Scarlatti sonata: no. 50 in F minor for this fiftieth concert in the series.
