VSO comes to Grafton for annual outdoor concert

Wednesday, June 12, 2013 — Issue 207

GRAFTON — Vermont Symphony Orchestra's Summer Festival Tour brings picnicking, music, and fireworks to Grafton on Wednesday, July 3.

Broadway star Sara Jean Ford joins the VSO for hits from the Great American Songbook. Vocal numbers by Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin share the spotlight with irresistible Benny Goodman Big Band tunes.

Orchestral favorites from the world of opera add drama, fantasy, and exoticism to the songful theme. As always, the concert closes with Tchaikovsky's spectacular “1812 Overture,” marches, and fireworks.

The concert at the Grafton Ponds Outdoor Center begins at 7:30 p.m., with Anthony Princiotti conducting. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for picnicking.

August will bring an important primary election for our state - for U.S. House seat. I will be supporting Becca Balint. Having served in the Vermont Senate with Becca for eight years, I have seen firsthand how she works, what her values are, and how she will represent Vermont.

Jon Mack is somewhat surprised that running the Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery (H-D) should still be fun. After about 18 months of managing the small theater in downtown Brattleboro that's tucked away inside a building that once was an old shoe factory, Mack says the place “is actually doing extremely well, thank you,” and even made a small profit this year. H-D is run on a not-for-profit, cost-sharing model (“I am finished with the for-profit world,” Mack says). There is...
