For the performing arts in Vermont, 2020 was the year that wasnât. Yet the COVID-19 pandemic revealed many arts organizationsâ ability to redefine themselves â and for others it meant a complete shutdown.
January began optimistically with a splendid performance by the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Anne Decker, of Menottiâs Christmas opera, âAmahl and the Night Visitorsâ at City Hall Arts Center. The Spice on Snow traditional music festival celebrated its 10th year, also in the capital.
Vermont Stage, the Burlington professional theater, mounted excellent productions of âRelativity,â by Mark St. Germain â in which Ron Crawford became Albert Einstein â and âMarie and Rosetta,â the rockinâ gospel of Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
Dreamstime Seeing Vermont artists perform on New Year s Eve has been a Burlington tradition for nearly four decades. It started with First Night Burlington and continues with Highlight, a festival organized by Burlington City Arts, with help from Signal Kitchen. Yes, Highlight is happening this year, but in 2020, it s all about staying in. The Highlight House Party kicks off at 1 p.m. on December 31 and winds up at 1 a.m. on January 1, 2021. The lineup includes marquee acts such as Myra Flynn and Swale, along with storyteller Ferene Paris Meyer, family-friendly performers Circus Smirkus and Mister Chris & Friends, and 12-year-old troubadour Charlie Schramm, who recently appeared on WCAX-TV as part of Kids VT s Spectacular Spectacular. The serendipity of what s available is part of the charm.
Rubblebucket s Alex Toth and Kalmia Traver Here we are, on the precipice of a New Year s Eve like none we ve ever experienced. I know I m getting ahead of myself a smidge, because the big night isn t until next week. But next week s music section will be dedicated solely to recapping the year s best local albums. I m particularly pleased with this year s crop of local music not only because of the adversity musicians worldwide have overcome, having had their livelihoods taken away, but because y all made some exceptional work this year. Anyway, back to NYE. Aside from the fact that huge ragers and the like just aren t feasible under pandemic restrictions, even little things are all messed up. For instance, COVID-19 makes a simple midnight kiss potentially lethal if the person isn t part of your quarantine bubble. (Jeez, could I have picked a darker, more downer way to start my final column of 2020?)
