    From Curatorial Lab to Museum Exhibition—the Making of "Giovanni Battistairanesi: Visions of Grandeur"

    The talk will review how the exhibition came about with students in winter term writing labels and wall texts and the New York field trip that led to the students acquiring a work for inclusion (the Pianta piccola) and the programming with a focus on the artist (by John Marciari) on the one hand, and on prints, printmaking, and conservation (by Theresa Fairbanks-Harris) on the other.

    Isaiah J. Thompson Trio: A Guaraldi Holiday

    Rising star jazz pianist Isaiah J. Thompson makes his Middlebury debut with “A Guaraldi Holiday,” which promises to start your December in a swinging mood. Thompson will highlight the works of composer/pianist Vince Guaraldi, who introduced generations to jazz through his Peanuts cartoon-accompanying scores. Guaraldi’s works are in good hands with Thompson, who’s already been named a Steinway artist, and is the winner of the 2023 American Pianists Association Awards, as well as their Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz.

  • 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.
