SUMMARY:VSO at the Flynn: Pastoral Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \nSubscriptions are on sale now! \nTo subscribe\, click here.  \nThe natural world underscores VSO’s second concert at the Flynn October 25\, with birdsong\, thunder\, moonlight\, and mushrooms as influence for a breadth of compositions. William Grant Still’s Wood Notes is inspired by the rich nature of the American South\, and Chelsea Komschlies’ piece Mycelialore makes musical connections between fungal and neural networks in a piece commissioned by the League of American Orchestra’s Virginia B.

From stillness to dancing\, and bird calls to storms\, Beethoven’s ability to incorporate rural life in musical form is exemplified in the four movements of this work. \nThe concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and is preceded at 6:30 p.m. by Musically Speaking\, a free pre-concert discussion in the concert hall that provides entertaining insight into the evening’s program. \n  \nEXTRA: Vermont Wine Merchants and Vermont Symphony Orchestra team up for a pre-concert wine tasting with varietals from around the world!

SUMMARY:VSO at the Flynn: A Laredo Salute
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Here \nVermont audiences finally get to enjoy our esteemed longtime Music Director’s “farewell” concert\, originally planned for spring 2021. The program begins with the very first piece Jaime Laredo ever conducted with the VSO\, George Walker’s poignant Lyric for Strings. Violinist Bella Hristova then joins the orchestra to perform Saturn Bells\, a work written by her husband\, David Ludwig. The piece was inspired by the scientific discovery that vibrations across the surface of that icy planet cause it to resonate like a lonely cosmic bell. Hristova also solos in Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy\, a favorite of virtuoso violinists with its homage to Scottish folk melodies. The concert concludes with Brahms’ Symphony No. 1\, written after the composer overcame his reluctance to become a symphonist in Beethoven’s footsteps. This glorious musical program is a fitting symbol of what we owe this much-loved conductor\, who made the VSO what it is today. \nThe concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and is preceded at 6:30 p.m. by Musically Speaking\, a free pre-concert discussion\, hosted by Helen Lyons\, that provides entertaining insight into the evening’s program. \nPROGRAM: \nWalker – Lyric for Strings  \nDavid Ludwig – Saturn Bells  \nBruch – Scottish Fantasy  \nBrahms – Symphony No. 1 \n  \n For accessibility information at this venue\, please contact The Flynn at 802-863-5966. \n \nThis concert is generously sponsored by M&T Bank\, and George Mergens Foundation. \nMs. Hristova’s performance is made possible by The Natalie Lisman Guest Soloist Fund.

SUMMARY:VSO at the Flynn: Paradise and Light

The concert features the world premiere of Dr. Matthew Evan Taylor‘s piece\, from despair … Light!\, which forms part of his African American Requiem Series. from despair…Light! explores gospel choral traditions of hymn lining\, touching on themes of grief\, loss\, and shared healing.  Vaughan Williams’ Toward the Unknown Region\, set to poetry by Walt Whitman\, celebrates the spirit of youthful adventure.
