    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 quartet will be paired with works by Haydn, Webern, and Mendelssohn.

    time/life/beauty

    Fusing butoh dance theater, hip-hop mixology, new music, and multimedia, the Vermont premiere of time/life/beauty by Michael Sakamoto and Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky) is inspired by the legacy of famed composer-musician and activist Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952–2023). Inspired by the variety and mystery of Ryuichi’s music, interdisciplinary collaborations, and environmental and anti-war commitments, time/life/beauty looks at the past, present, and future of acute cultural, social, and ecological themes in our historical moment.

    Le Consort

    This world-class baroque chamber ensemble follows up on its beloved 2024 series debut with a free concert inviting us to the baroque era, in which the trio Sonata was the most popular chamber music formation.  “A trio sonata soirée” will spotlight examples by famous composers such as Bach and Telemann, alongside some unjustly neglected Baroque masters, illustrating the immense expressive range and creativity of this repertoire.
