We’ve been awarded an Arts Project Grant from the Vermont Arts Council to create a rooted, community specific, choral experience in Richmond, VT this season, & we could not be more delighted!

Local avocational singers are invited to join the core roster of Ampersand for a project week that will culminate in a concert – “POLYPHONICSPREE” – on May 3, 2025.

Auditions for this free-to-participate chorus, led by countertenor & programming director Timothy Parsons, will be in January 2025. More information on how to get involved will be forthcoming.
