Thursday, May 25—Barnard—Vermont continues to be home for a wide range of traditional music and dance, a tapestry of people from many places, all with their own traditions. What is now Vermont is the traditional homeland of the Western Abenaki.The state has consistently inspired singers, instrumentalists and dancers, and is deservedly identified for the creativity and contributions of its artists.
Young Tradition Vermont is a program with its primary focus on young people, traditional music and dance, and a commitment to ensure what is offered is available at low or no cost.
The Youth Commission is designed as a next step for musicians who have been part of other Young Tradition Vermont programs and show promise as composers, arrangers, teachers and ensemble leaders.
