Social Band was founded in 1998 to explore the diverse repertoires of traditional, early and contemporary music. Now directed by Amity Baker, their presentation strikes a balance between raw exuberance and polished sound. This mixed chorus of 25 singers has become known for their signature mix of homegrown and international choral works spanning the millennia, with a focus on new works by Vermont composers. In 2005, Social Band commissioned 25 Vermont composers
to write new choral works. This grant-funded project was so well received
that the group has continued to secure grant funding to present concerts with new choral works by local composers. Many of the songs we sing are commissioned
with support from the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowment
for the Arts, the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund of the Vermont Community
Foundation, by a generous gift from the Argosy Foundation Contemporary
Music Fund, and by the many gifts from our patrons. |
