Hello friends,

I work for the Vermont Folklife Center, currently based in both Middlebury and Burlington. We are hosting our annual "Young Tradition Vermont Festival" in Burlington in early May; it's a wonderful event with some incredible talent. Brattleboro's own Yann Falquet, part of Genticorum - an award-winning French-Canadian folk trio - will be performing there as well. Read on to learn more.

The 2024 Young Tradition Festival celebrates young artists and multi-generational relationships in diverse traditional music and dance communities while providing opportunities for youth, families, and the greater community to immerse themselves in several types of traditional music and dance.

This year's festival takes place May 10-12 in Burlington, and features concerts from Shyam Nepali's Himalayan Dreams, Genticorum and the Young Tradition Touring Group at Contois Auditorium, a Student/Mentor Showcase at the Burlington Farmers Market, and a family-friend jam and contra dance.
