Bach: The Cantor of Leipzig
Johann Sebastian Bach was the composer of some the most enduring and cherished musical repertoire in Western Music. It is possible to lose sight of the fact that he was for most of his life nothing more glamorous than Director of Music (Cantor) at Lutheran churches in and around Leipzig, and spent his entire career in an area roughly the geographic size of northern Vermont. How then that his work has put him among the greatest and most performed composers of all time? Come to hear two of his greatest Cantatas (sacred works for voices and orchestra) plus two of his most famous instrumental concertos, and be reminded why he will always remain at the top of our list! Program: Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C minor, Cantata #30: Rejoice, Redeemed People!, Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, Cantata #147 Heart and Mouth, Deed and Life (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring).

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror with live score
Arpeggione
Experience the 1922 silent film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror with a live performance of the original score for theater orchestra at Cinema Salem. Arpeggione will be performing on historical instruments from the early 20th century, including harmonium, flute, clarinet, and strings. From the eerily corpse-like appearance of Max Schreck as Orlok to the oft parodied staircase camera shot at the film’s climax, Nosferatu set the standard for the modern horror film as well as the genre of vampire films. As the earliest adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula for film, Nosferatu is the source of several of the most enduring aspects of modern day vampire lore. Fans of horror, music enthusiasts, vintage aficionados… see and hear Nosferatu as it would have sounded when it was first screened. Hurry–-these tickets expire at dawn! Due to overwhelming demand, we are offering both a matinee and evening performance this year, PLUS a special VIP lecture on recreating the original score to Nosferatu and the role of music in silent film.
2:00-4:15 Matinée

The Splendor of Versailles
Burlington Baroque Festival Singers and Orchestra with Helene Brunet, Len Torrie, sopranos, Nicholas Burns, alto, Ryan Matos, tenor, Philippe Gagné, tenor, Sumner Thompson, baritone, William Kraushaar, bass
The Royals of every nation, kingdom and principality in Europe competed for unprecedented grandeur in their Palaces, Chapels and Gardens, which resulted in the Palace and Chapel at Versailles, the suburban Parisian home of French Royalty and Nobility throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Music in the court and the chapel was, of course, a part of the Olympian ostentation, and the finest composers and performers in the Kingdom served at the pleasure of the royal families. The resultant colossal repertory of Operas, Grand Motets and Chamber Music has proven to be some of the most stunningly beautiful music ever heard, before or since. We offer a brilliant sampling by some of the greatest composers in the employ of Louis XIV, the Sun King himself. Progam includes Delalande's The Fountains of Versailles, Marais' Chaconne from Semele, Charpentier's Magnificat and Te deum.

Nature’s Voice
St Mary Schola ensemble
In celebration of the 800th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi’s timeless Canticle of the Sun, St Mary Schola presents a radiant program of music inspired by nature, devotion, and the sacred harmony between the human and the divine. Centered around the world premiere of Canticle of the Sun—a powerful new work for choir, soloists, and historical instruments by director emeritus Bruce Fithian—this immersive concert invites audiences into a rich soundscape shaped by centuries of faith and wonder. The concert begins with Liszt’s dramatic St. Francis of Paola Walking on the Waves for solo piano, echoing the saint’s miraculous relationship with nature. The journey continues with the earthy simplicity of 13th-century Franciscan laude from the Laudario di Cortona and expands through the expressive polyphony of Renaissance masters including Palestrina, Gesualdo, Dufay, and Landini. Performed with luminous instruments and angelic voices, Nature’s Voice is more than a concert—it is a sonic tribute to a saint who saw divine light in all creation, from Brother Sun to Sister Moon. Join us for this luminous offering of sacred song, spiritual reflection, and musical beauty across the centuries.

Centered around the world premiere of Canticle of the Sun—a powerful new work for choir, soloists, and historical instruments by director emeritus Bruce Fithian—this immersive concert invites audiences into a rich soundscape shaped by centuries of faith and wonder. The concert begins with Liszt’s dramatic St. Francis of Paola Walking on the Waves for solo piano, echoing the saint’s miraculous relationship with nature. The journey continues with the earthy simplicity of 13th-century Franciscan laude from the Laudario di Cortona and expands through the expressive polyphony of Renaissance masters including Palestrina, Gesualdo, Dufay, and Landini. Performed with luminous instruments and angelic voices, Nature’s Voice is more than a concert—it is a sonic tribute to a saint who saw divine light in all creation, from Brother Sun to Sister Moon. Join us for this luminous offering of sacred song, spiritual reflection, and musical beauty across the centuries.
