  • Young and old singers with large songbooks

    Shape Note Singing

    Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.

    Nahre Sol, Piano and Ben Finley, Bass

    Don’t miss the Vermont debut of this wholly original music duo featuring classically-trained, composing pianist Nahre Sol (who’s amassed over 75 million views on her YouTube channel) and internationally recognized, composing bassist Ben Finley. Sol and Finley’s music draws from their diverse musical influences, from chamber music to ambient soundscapes, improvisation, and more. Expect to hear solo and duo music (both familiar and original) that’s playful, colorful, agile, emotional, and picturesque between the bass and piano.

    Isidore String Quartet

    Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 2022 Banff International String Quartet Competition, the Isidore String Quartet was formed with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertory. After energizing a packed Robison Hall during their Middlebury debut last season, we’re thrilled to welcome them back with the world premiere of composer/pianist Billy Childs’ Quartet No. 4, written expressly for them. This new work will be paired with arrangements of Bach and Brahms by the quartet’s violist Devin Moore, plus Dvorák’s Opus 106 quartet.
