CLASSICS FOR PIANO & WINDS
Vermont tour: May 23-26, 2012

This month, Heliand Consort joins thousands of musicians and hundreds of concert presenters across the country in celebrating National Chamber Music Month, sponsored by Chamber Music America. The month-long series of performances, residencies and other chamber music events will showcase ensemble music of all styles, including early, classical, jazz, and world music.

Our "Classics for Piano and Winds" program features classical and romantic music by Austrian composers, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Thuille, and German composer, August Klughardt. We are pleased to welcome guest horn player and St. Albans native, Patricia Evans, who will join us for our spring tour, taking place May 23-26th. We'll be performing in four beautiful churches across Vermont: in St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, Montpelier and Middlebury.
