Three ensembles of different styles will perform at this event. The Counterpoint chamber ensemble headlines, with the Green Mountain Chorus and the Chordination barbershop quartet.
Chordination
Counterpoint features a variety of repertory from folksongs, African-American spirituals, sacred music of many traditions, and concert works by classical composers of our own age and the past. Founded by legendary Vermont choral director and arranger Robert De Cormier in 2000, the group is now directed by Nathanial G. Lew. Counterpoint has released 11 CDs.
Men from Vermont and Quebec have sounded the chords of Barbershop harmony together as the Green Mountain Chorus for over 70 years. A unique form of a cappella singing, Barbershop employs close four-part harmony. This chorus livens it up with a little comedy and audience participation—to the delight of audiences of all ages.
The Chordination quartet of unaccompanied singers delivers tunes from pop, folk, and Broadway traditions, arranged in the Barbershop Style.
