VSO Brings

The Vermont Symphony Orchestra will perform the Beethoven Violin Concerto in a Sept. 24 concert at Chandler Music Hall, proving that it's nice to have a world-renowned violinist (Jaime Laredo, above) as your director.

Beethoven Concerto

To Chandler

The Vermont Symphony Orchestra will bring music to nine towns across Vermont, including Randolph, this fall, presenting the popular annual "Made in Vermont Music Festival."

This year the VSO's featured work will be the great Beethoven Violin Concerto, featuring acclaimed VSO Music Director Jaime Laredo as conductor and soloist. The Beethoven concerto is widely considered one of the monumental works of the classical literature, both for orchestra and for violin.

The program also includes works by Faure, Rossini, and Bartok, as well as a world premiere commission, "Green Mountain Variations," by Peter Hamlin, professor of music at Middlebury College.

The tour comes to Chandler Music Hall in Randolph on Sept. 24, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Other stops will include Lebanon, NH, Castleton, Johnson, Lyndon, and the tiny Haskell Opera House in Derby Line.

The special statewide tour is co-sponsored by the Vermont State Colleges and Cabot Cooperative Creamery.

Since the Vermont Symphony produces these concerts itself, tickets should be ordered by calling (802)86FLYNN.
