Free VSO Brass & Counterpoint Concert Dec. 14

The Vermont Symphony Orchestra presents its Brass Quintet concert in collaboration with Counterpoint, a Montpelier-based choral chamber music ensemble, at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14 at Grafton Community Church, 55 Main St.

The year’s program includes a global musical journey. It blends sacred and secular holiday favorites like O Holy Night and The Twelve Days of Christmas with international selections from Greece, Catalonia and Mexico.

A special offering is a world premiere by a Vermont student composer: The Great Ice Field, by Stowe High School senior Harrison Brown. It was inspired by heavy metal music and a frozen lake scene in the video game Elden Ring.

Admission is free, but you must reserve a ticket to hold your spot. Send an e-mail that includes your name, telephone number and the number of tickets required.
