Bassoonist Rachael Elliott and pianist Cynthia Huard stop by the VPR Performance Studio to preview their concerts on September 2-4 in St. Johnsbury, Burlington, and Hanover. The concerts are in celebration of the release of Rachael’s new recording, "Polka the Elk," which features new and experimental music for the bassoon.
Music can’t solve the world’s problems, but it can cushion the blow and be a catalyst for inspiration. Today we’ll hear music that is free-spirited, uplifting, and cheerful as Vermont begins to rebuild.
We’ll hear Mozart’s biggest Mass (other than the Requiem) this afternoon, and we’ll hear two movements of Antonin Dvorak’s Terzetto as today’s excerpt from the Chandler Next Generation Concert.
During the week of August 29th VPR Classical presented a back-to-school
showcase of young musicians from the May 20, 2011 Next Generation concert. If you missed the performances you can hear them on VPR.net.
