BRATTLEBORO-The Brattleboro Music Center and Retreat Farm kick off their popular "Music Under the Stars" summer concert series Saturday, June 22, with the return of PESO, the Pan Evolution Steel Orchestra, a steel pan band.
PESO brings music to appreciative audiences around the U.S. and overseas. Founded in 2015 and based in Brooklyn, New York, members say they use the band's platform to promote unity throughout the culture and steel pan community, all while personifying the band motto of "Together As One."
Other scheduled Music Under the Stars concerts include the Vermont Jazz Center Big Band with Alexis Cole Saturday, July 20, and Keith Murphy and Becky Tracy with Katie McNally and Neil Pearlman Saturday, Aug. 17.
Sponsors of the music series include Guilford Sound. It is also supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Vermont Arts Council as well as other generous donors.
Admission is free with donations welcome. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. at Retreat Farm, with the concert at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to bring lawn chairs and a picnic dinner. Please note that no outside alcohol is permitted but beer, wine, and cider are available on site.
