Stowe Performing Arts has announced the lineup for this summer’s Music in the Meadow concert series, held in the Trapp Family Lodge concert meadow.
From now until Friday, June 26, subscription tickets are available at substantial savings. Sponsorships are also available to support the series.
Two Vermont-based musical institutions serve as bookends for the 39th Music in the Meadow season that opens on Sunday, July 5.
• The Vermont Symphony Orchestra, on its 2015 TD Bank Summer Festival Tour, will present a program that children may find interesting. The orchestra, led by Anthony Princiotti, will perform “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Fellowship of the Rings” symphonic suites, in addition to music that brings to mind ghosts, witches and trolls. The program concludes with the 1812 Overture, marches and fireworks.
• Grammy-nominated A Far Cry is making a return visit to Stowe, in hopes that good weather will allow its performance on Sunday, July 12, to be held outdoors, so more people can become acquainted with this exciting chamber orchestra. Its first concert was forced indoors by the weather. This tightly knit group of young professional musicians is self-conducted, and its members “pitch” ideas to the group and then experiment with the way the music is prepared, performed and ultimately experienced. The group will present four major pieces, and a journey from North to South America.
• On Sunday, Aug. 2, The Hot Sardines will bring blustery brass, stride-piano in the Fats Waller vein and a one-of-the-boys front-woman who sings in both English and French. The group’s straight-up, foot-stomping jazz sound fuses musical influences from New York, Paris and New Orleans, the Prohibition era, the Great Depression, World War II and beyond.
• The Vermont Jazz Ensemble will bring its big-band sound to close out the Meadow series on Sunday, Sept. 6.
