When the Vermont Symphony Orchestra presents its second “Music for Days Like This,” online at
7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19, it will feature some unlikely ensembles, including VSO percussionists
D. Thomas Toner and Nicola Cannizzaro.
“Seeing Tom and Nick play a percussion duo is a whole different world than seeing them play the bass drum, the triangle and maybe a cymbal in the symphony,” explains
Matt LaRocca, composer and the VSO’s creative projects chairman, who curates the VSO’s online programming.
If that weren’t unusual enough, VSO cellists John Dunlop, Perri Morris, Bonnie Klimowski and Dieuwke Davydov will join the percussionists in works ranging from a commissioned world premiere to well-known music by Arvo Pärt and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
