Music

The Middlebury College Choir shares a program that celebrates the vibrant energy of spring and the hopefulness of community.

This concert features the Middlebury Afropop Band performing original compositions and arrangements of classic and contemporary popular songs from all over Africa. The band uses pop and rock instrumentation as well as styles that blend traditional African with Western and/or Afro-diasporic musical idioms. Both groups highlight the dynamic, communal, and interactive nature of African societies.

Timothy Cummings, Middlebury College Affiliate Artist in pipes and whistles is joined by Jeremiah McLane, accordions and McKinley James, cellist for a performance of acoustic music that explores musical connections across the region of Caledonian orogeny, spanning Appalachia, New England, Québec and the Canadian Maritimes, Greenland, Ireland, Scotland, England, and even Denmark and Norway. Middlebury College students and Jeffrey Buettner also perform.

Middlebury’s own Sound Investment Jazz Ensemble performs a broad range of jazz and jazz-adjacent music, from the 1930s to the present day.

Run time 75 minutes, no intermission. This concert will also be streamed, with access to the performance stream available starting at showtime. https://www.youtube.com/@robisonhall
