BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Music Center will hold a daylong marathon of student performances on Sunday, May 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Robert H. Gibson River Garden on Main Street.
Music School students, performing as soloists, duos, and ensembles, will perform everything from Bach to traditional Celtic music and Lloyd-Weber show tunes during the BMC's annual “Performathon.”
The public is invited to stop by and listen, have lunch and indulge in baked goods, shop for hanging flower baskets, and take a chance to win items to be raffled off that day. All proceeds go directly to the BMC's Student Scholarship Fund.
Each year the Music School awards over $20,000 in aid to students and families who need assistance paying for lessons, classes, ensembles, and summer programs. The funds raised during Performathon help meet those requests for financial aid.
The program is presented in one-hour segments, making it possible for audience members to come and go throughout the day. Each hour will feature a variety of instruments and musical genres.
Performathon is free. If you would like to support the BMC's student scholarship fund, donations can be sent to: BMC, 38 Walnut St., Brattleboro, VT 05301, or visit www.bmcvt.org/performathon.
