CHAMPLAIN PHILHARMONIC's

SPRING CONCERT

Saturday, March 28 at 7:30pm
on the Rothrock Historic Main Stage

CPO's spring concert will feature a diverse selection of works, beginning with "Fanfare" by Vermont composer Erik Nielsen, a piece originally commissioned by the Vermont Symphony
Orchestra in celebration of their 80th anniversary.

They will also perform Gwyneth Walker’s "Let America Be America Again," a powerful musical setting of the Langston Hughes poem featuring narrator Al Wakefield.

This will be followed by select movements from Lee Johnson’s Dead Symphony No. 6. This work offers a brilliant, fantasy-like tribute to the music of the Grateful Dead, including nods to "St. Stephen," "Sugar Magnolia," and "China Doll."

Concluding the performance will be Antonín Dvořák’s beloved Symphony No. 9 ("From the New World").
