Richard Ellis Memorial Bandstand
194 Chelsea Street
South Royalton, Vermont 05068

We’re bringing small ensembles across the state with a series of free concerts on a Breweries Tour, Homes & Gardens Tour, and Gazebos & Bandstands Tour. Each of these venues enjoys a special theme, whether it’s the pomp and circumstance of a concert on the town green, the lush delight of music in historic home gardens, or the spirit of a brew pub. VSO musicians will visit 17 Vermont towns from St. Albans and Stowe to Greensboro and Grafton – join us!

Pull up your camping chair, pack up the sunscreen, and enjoy some rousing brass music – VSO is bringing pomp and circumstance to sunny town greens across the state with free brass quintet concerts featuring trumpet, trombone, horn, and tuba. March on down to the Richard Ellis Memorial Bandstand for a free concert on July 18 at 3:00 pm.

Concerts will be presented in line with COVID-19 guidelines. For more information, click here.

In keeping with the spirit of the American brass band tradition, the program will include timeless favorites, cinematic moments, and new sounds that will give listeners a chance to reflect as well as recharge. Selections range from Dvorak and Sousa to Stephen Foster and Lady Wray, so pull up a lawn chair and join these five friends as they get to make music together again at long last.

Concerts are weather permitting. Check back here or on social media on the day for final notice for rain calls.
