SUMMARY:Jukebox: Strength and Hope - Rutland
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \nTHIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT \nMusic as strength. Music as hope. Music as change.  \nThroughout history\, composers have turned to music in the face of hardship—to find light in darkness\, to hold fast to truth\, to rise up\, and to offer comfort\, courage\, and strength. In this Jukebox\, we look to those composers who have created music for hope\, resistance\, and change—music composed in prison camps\, music that calls out injustice\, music that shouts dissent\, music that is charged with the need to speak out and be heard. In these challenging times\, this special concert brings us together to offer a sense of optimism borne of music and community. \nBrooke Quiggins-Saulnier and Joana Genova\, violin; Stefanie Taylor\, viola; and John Dunlop\, cello. Hosted and curated by Matt LaRocca. \nPROGRAM \nRussell Peck – Don’t Tread on Me \nLudwig van Beethoven – String Quartet in C minor\, Op. 18\, No. 4 – Movement I \nEthel Smyth – String Quartet in E minor \nGideon Klein – Trio \nDmitri Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8 in C minor\, Op. 110 \nFrank Horvat – The Thailand HRDs \nMilad Yousufi – Refugee \nZoltan Almashi – Mariupol \nWoody Guthrie – This Land is Your Land \n  \nThis concert is generously sponsored by Kristi and Sandy Bragg\, and by Carol and Fra DeVine.

SUMMARY:Men\, Marble\, and Machines
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE \nThe Vermont Marble Museum (VMM) and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra (VSO) cordially invite you to a screening of Men\, Marble\, and Machines at the Paramount Theatre in Rutland at 7:00 p.m. on May 12\, 2023! \n\n\n\n\n\nVSO and VMM are co-hosting this event in honor of VSO past board chairs\, and VMM emeriti board co-chairs\, Robert and Victoria Young. The evening will feature the 1984 award winning documentary film\, Men\, Marble and Machines\, and a 21-piece VSO Chamber Orchestra under the direction of conductor\, Matt LaRocca\, performing works by composer Nicholas Scarim (who wrote the award-winning score for Men\, Marble and Machines). \n\n\n\nIt is not only an industry documentary – it is also an artful study of the beauty of marble\, the technological process and workmanship that transform Vermont marble into landmark structures\, national monuments\, and tactile art. The film follows marble from deep inside the vast underground Danby quarry to the Vermont Marble Company’s finishing mill in Proctor\, where cranes\, gang saws\, machines and marble workers cut\, form\, polish and carve. The striking cinematography and evocative score guide the viewer to appreciate the beauty of the process\, as well as to understand and appreciate the skills of the Vermonters who work with marble.

SUMMARY:VSO at the Paramount: Paradise and Light
