RANDOLPH—The Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival and Chandler Center for the Arts are very excited to be able to present the Cassotto Duo, pianist and accordionist Annemieke and Jeremiah McLane, in a live concert on the Chandler stage.
Although the 28th season of the festival had to be postponed to Aug. 2021, cellist and music director Peter Sanders is pleased to be able to go ahead and present this one event on the day that was originally planned, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m. The concert will be live-streamed and the hall will be open for 75 in-person audience members who can attend adhering to Vermont Covid-19 guidelines. Thanks to the size of this space, social distancing can be managed. All audience members will need to attest to being symptom-free upon arrival, and everyone will need to remain masked for the duration of the concert, and while entering, exiting the building, or using the restrooms. Chandler is using enhancing cleaning protocols during Covid, which include daily deep cleaning, hand-sanitizing stations, and staff temperature checks.
The husband and wife duo, well known in central Vermont and the Upper Valley, performs from coast to coast in the United States and in Europe. The couple makes their own arrangements for piano and accordion which highlight the folk elements in classical compositions. Their music ranges from the 16th to the 21st centuries. On the Chandler program are works by Couperin, J.S. Bach, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Dvorak, Piazzola, French accordionist and composer Jo Privat, as well as a Suite by Jeremiah McLane himself.
Tickets for the event will be $10 for both the live-streamed version and in the hall. A donation option will also be available at Chandler. As always, one can also donate via the festival website at: cvcmf.org/giving.html
The concert will be approximately 45-60 minutes and performed with no intermission. Due to the pandemic, the traditional post-concert reception will not be offered. Patrons are asked to reach out to Chandler directly if planning to attend in person. Tickets can be reserved through the box office at 802-728-9878 and online at chandler-arts.org.
Information about the concert can be found on the festival website, cvcmf.org, the Chandler website, chandler-arts.org and also via both organizations’ Facebook pages.
