a murmur in the trees


  • Furrer's Allee 82 Park Street Extension Brandon, VT (map)

New Music On The Point and Scrag Mountain Music join forces to create A Murmur in the Trees, an immersive concert experience performed in nature. The concerts will feature works inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem of the same name. The performances feature the world premiere of a new work for twenty-four double basses that treats a piece of birch bark as a musical score by internationally renowned composer Eve Beglarian, created in collaboration with superstar bassist Robert Black and composer/programmer Matt Sargent. Also on the program is the world premiere of a new song setting of Dickinson’s poem by Evan Premo for soprano and two basses and a reading by poet and Middlebury College professor Karin Gottshall. The concerts, held outdoors within Vermont’s lush landscape, encourage listeners to walk around and explore the music freely.
