With the solar eclipse coming our way this spring, Social Band has turned its attention to things celestial. We'll present our signature mix of choral music, from Palestrina to new compositions along with a refreshing dose of poetry, robust harmony, and singing camaraderie. Join us!

This season's offerings include excerpts from the Missa Emendemus by Palestrina in addition to Social Band's embarrassment of compositional riches provided by our "in-house" composers. We'll feature premieres by Sophia Donforth, Michael Kellogg (also known as Clyde Powers), Bruce Chalmer and Don Jamison, as well as past favorites by Vermont composers Will Patton and Susan Comen.

Unfamiliar with Social Band? This Burlington-based chorus performs a cappella choral music, encourages new compositions especially by local composers, and fosters the joyful and thought- provoking expression of music. Social Band organizes its programs around themes, weaving poetry and song together to create an experience that feeds both hearts and heads. And, while we take the power of music very seriously, we tend to take ourselves a little less so, bringing a sense of exuberance and fun to our singing.

Suggested donation $18. But that's just a suggestion. Pay less, pay more - whatever will make you feel good about joining us. We'll just be glad to see you! 

Masks are optional. If you're feeling under the weather, please stay home and catch us next time.
