With the hurried and hectic pace of the digital age, it’s important for Vermonters of all ages and backgrounds to have access to the focus, substance, and inspiration that classical music provides. Under the leadership of dynamic Executive Director Ben Cadwallader, the VSO is not only making music available to a wide range of audiences, but ensuring they are relevant and approachable. By getting into our schools through programs such as SymphonyKids, the VSO is helping to shape the diverse, promising next generation of citizens, musicians, artists, and thinkers.
