Expect the Unexpected
The Convergence Project, Saturday, June 9, 8 p.m., at Vermont Jazz Center

There will be moments during an upcoming performance by Eugene Uman’s Convergence Project on June 9th at 8:00 PM at the Vermont Jazz Center when nobody knows for sure what will happen next. Not the soundman, certainly not the audience, not even the musicians on stage. The musicians will be the ones performing, yes, but where the music takes them as a group will be determined by forces beyond intention and forethought. That’s the way composer and pianist Eugene Uman intends it. And that, he might say, is one of the most electrifying elements of jazz: its unpredictability, its capriciousness and ephemerality.

Come enjoy Traditional Music and Dance during the Strolling of the Heifers festivities!

You will love the foot tapping tunes of the BMC's Traditional Music students as they head down Main Street during the parade, led by Keith Murphy and Becky Tracy, and then everyone is invited to come and dance!
