The Vermont Philharmonic will perform the New England premiere of America 250! a three-movement suite for orchestra composed by Gwynneth Walker in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States (1776-2026). Inspiration for this music is taken from songs depicting colorful and adventurous episodes in American history

The winner of the 2026 Jon Borowicz Memorial Scholarship Competition is a gifted young cellist, Felix Haskins, from Westport NY.  Felix will perform Saint-Saens’ brilliant Cello Concerto No.1, op. 33.  At 15, he is already the assistant principal of the Vermont Youth Orchestra. Last semester, he studied chamber music intensively at the Kinhaven Music School’s inaugural Fall 2025 program.

Hungarian folk tales are the heritage inspiring Zoltan Kodaly’s Hary Janos Suite from his opera of that name.  The big orchestral music depicts the character’s colorful adventures.

The concert opens with Antonin Dvorak’s charming Bagatelles, op 47 in a delightful arrangement for winds, cello and bass.   

The concert is sponsored by Maple Capital Management of Montpelier. More information and tickets ($25 for adults, $20 for seniors, FREE for students) are available at vermontphilharmonic.com or at the door. Free student tickets to both concerts are made possible thanks to a major donation. The Vermont Philharmonic is celebrating its sixty-seventh season of sharing the joy of classical music in Northern and Central Vermont.
