Social Band's Vermont
Composers Project "...is a complete delight:
...glorious, witty choral works that are often complex,
sometimes quirky, yet always accessible and fun."
--Tom Slayton, VPR Commentator / Editor, Vermont Life Magazine
"For a community
chorus to perform contemporary music is a challenge, but to
perform a program made up entirely of new music - and to do it
well - is nothing short of amazing. But, that's just what Social
Band did with its Vermont Composers Project...."
--Jim Lowe, Barre-Montpelier
Times Argus
"Social Band has made a
major achievement with this series of commissions, and they may
have impacted choral singing in Vermont for some time to
come." Dan Wolfe, Vermont Times
Burlington's lively band of
singers presented a program selected from newly commissioned
works by 25 diverse Vermont composers to enthusiastic audiences
in April. Now the program tours around Vermont from May through
October of this year. Don't miss it, and pass the word to all
your friends and relatives around our tour stops!
