    18th-Century Scent Making Workshop

    Founder and Executive Director Saskia Wilson-Brown of the Institute for Art and Olfaction offers a history of 18th-century scent. Saskia will lead a smelling session that expands upon the museum’s Le Petit Salon exhibition by providing an embodied experience of the era’s scentscape. We will examine historic perfume formulas, and smell popular aromatic materials in 17th- and 18th-century France. The session will end with a hands-on exercise, where students can make a short formula inspired by the times. For Middlebury students only.

    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.
