As we look forward to the solar eclipse there is another unique event happening the weekend before that promises to be just as remarkable!
The Champlain Philharmonic will perform "In the Key of Spring" during the pre-eclipse weekend of April 6 – 7, 2024 at the Middlebury Congregational Church on Saturday, April 6th at 7:30PM and again on Sunday, April 7th at 4:00 at Grace Congregational Church in Rutland.
These concerts will feature the spectacular Organ Symphony #3 in C Minor by Camille Saint Saëns and two humorous short pieces; one by the infamous "de-composer" PDQ Bach (aka Peter Schickele) and the other Vermont pianist and composer, David Feurzeig with his ragtime arrangement of Stravinski's Rite of Spring.
These concerts demonstrate not only how fun and entertaining classical music can be, but also showcase some of the most powerful and exhilarating music written that promises to be just as breathtaking and stratospheric as the eclipse itself.
Tickets are available for advance purchase or at the door. All the information is listed on the website: www.champlainphilharmonic.org
