Middlebury College Community Chorus — So We Try

The Middlebury College Community Chorus presents a world premiere for choir and piano called So We Try, composed by Peter Buffet and arranged for chorus by Peter Kiesewalter. There are also selections by Pete Seeger, Felix Mendelssohn, Ed Thompson, as well as another world premiere by Vermont-based composer Dorothy Robson. This will be an evening chock-full of new music that will challenge the way you think about choral singing, our relationship to the Earth, and our shared humanity. We hope you will join us for this wild ride! Conducted by Ronnie Romano at the piano
