Village Harmony

Tickets: $20 General Admission, $10 Students
Tuesday, June 28 at 7 pm
Hubbard Hall Mainstage

The 25 sparkling teen singers will present a program of traditional and composed music from Latin America, traditional songs from Lithuania and Corsica, American shape-note songs, sea chanties, lullabies and songs for social change, and Rowan & Wilson's original compositions.

Village Harmony is an umbrella organization based in Vermont dedicated to the study and performance of ethnic singing traditions from around the world.  Each summer they sponsor ten ensembles like this one, both in New England and in numerous foreign countries, involving both teen and adult singers.   Each group develops its own unique sound with a different international team of leaders, but all share common traits:  a powerful, natural, unrestrained, vocal sound; a remarkable variety of vocal styles and timbres, as appropriate to the many varieties of ethnic and traditional music; and the visible, vibrant community among the singers and audience as they share in a joyous celebration of music.

Special guest Carlos Jurado, from Pasto, Colombia, returns for his second summer as a Village Harmony camp leader.  He will lead a variety of works from different parts of Latin America, all featuring syncopated rhythms often accompanied by percussion.  In his seventh year as a Village Harmony leader, Will Rowan is a fine composer and is presently in the masters program for choral conducting at Bard College.  He tours internationally with the vocal quartet Windborne  and has particular interest in traditional singing from Lithuania.  Heidi Wilson is an inspirational singing leader with a passion for sharing songs inspired by and in service to community and the natural world.

Village Harmony’s many recordings and songbooks will be available for sale at the concert.

This extraordinary singing ensemble of young people returns to Hubbard Hall to thrill us once again with their inspiring, exuberant music. Join us for an amazing evening of singing and celebration! More info at http://northernharmony.pair.com
