Classical Musicians Prepare for a Live Concert Season

Vermont Symphony Orchestra concert tent On a Wednesday in mid-May, I entered the Stowe Community Church to see the first live performance of classical music I had experienced in more than a year: Middlebury pianist Diana Fanning playing works by Maurice Ravel, Fédéric Chopin and Franz Schubert. The formidable entrance requirements included emailing an image of my COVID-19 vaccination card to Stowe Performing Arts, which hosted the concert. Audience members were led to seats spaced six feet apart. But the payoff was hearing those nuances of interpretation and volume that virtual mediums never quite capture. As masks fall away and the weather warms, classical musicians schedules are filling up with live gigs, and festivals are reviving their summer seasons. There s even a new concert series in a Jericho barn. With so many performances cropping up as the state lifts its pandemic restrictions, the following list is only a sample

Vermont Symphony and Fans Bid Farewell to Beloved Conductor Jaime Laredo

Jaime Laredo In a 2017 interview on the Violin Channel, renowned violinist and conductor Jaime Laredo was asked which side of him the public never sees. I m very cranky, and I m very often in a terrible mood, he answered with a laugh. Nobody ever sees that of me. Indeed. As Laredo s 20-year tenure as music director of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra comes to an end this week, people around the state are remembering him as the nicest guy ever as well as a beloved musician and mentor. He s so generous and so kind, and I think that vibe has become a part of who the orchestra is, said David Ludwig, who became the VSO s composer-in-residence in 2004 and is now the new-music adviser. Orchestras often reflect their conductors, and this orchestra is a family.
