Music school faculty members have chosen to answer the call by donating their services and performing this special benefit concert on Friday. “Partners in Music, Partners in Health,” as the concert is aptly named, reflects the nature of the program to be performed, Duos, and the organization Partners in Health, whose work in Haiti is being supported.
Two by two, the Music School’s talented faculty will partner and take the stage to present a wide variety of pieces including works by Brahms, Argento, Villa-Lobos, and Prokofiev, and songs from Catalonia. Featured faculty include: Kristen Carmichael-Bowers, soprano; Bruce Griffin, piano; Luba Lischynsky, piano; Robin Matathias, flute; Vladimir Odinokikh, piano; Alex Ogle, flute; Moby Pearson, violin; Sabine Rhyne, cello; Richard Ullman, guitar; and Junko Watanabe, soprano.
The Partners in Music, Partners in Health Concert will benefit relief efforts provided by Partners in Health, whose model emphasizes collaboration with the Haitian Ministry of Health, nongovernmental organizations, and community groups to provide medical services. In order to meet the medical needs of those left homeless by the earthquake, Partners in Health and its sister organization, Zanmi Lasante, are currently running mobile medical clinics in four settlement sites where tens of thousands of displaced earthquake survivors are now living.
Come hear fine music and support, nearly effortlessly, Haitian relief efforts. General admission tickets, $15, are available in advance and at the door. BMC music school students under 22 will be admitted free. For tickets call the BMC at (802) 257-4523 or visit www.bmcvt.org for more information.
