Onion River Chorus Up until beloved singer and Village Harmony founder Larry Gordon passed away in November, he was still leading rehearsals of the Onion River Chorus, the Montpelier community choir that he cofounded in 1978. The group’s winter concert has arrived and is a testament to Gordon’s vision and a celebration in his memory. The Onion River singers perform Estonian composer Urmas Sisask’s Magnificat, as well as four pieces in the American shape-note tradition — a nearly forgotten style of singing that Gordon is credited with reviving almost single-handedly in New England. Proof of vaccination is required.
