Fifty years ago, Orlando Letelier, a former Chilean cabinet minister and ambassador, was assassinated on the streets of Washington, DC, alongside a young colleague, Ronni Karpen Moffitt. Their former colleagues, along with family members and human rights activists, sought justice for these crimes, uncovering difficult questions about the US support for the Pinochet regime, and culminating in a final court decision earlier this summer.
Join us for the next installment of the NXT Rockumentary Film Series.
This ambitious documentary explores hip-hop as part of a broader musical and cultural continuum, tracing the genre’s evolution through the voices of influential artists and the communities that shaped it. Blending extensive interviews with archival material, the film examines hip-hop’s roots, its artistic innovations, and its connections to earlier traditions including jazz, gospel, and spoken-word expression. A thoughtful look at the culture and history of a groundbreaking musical movement.

Brattleboro Harmonia (formerly the Brattleboro Women’s Chorus), led by Musical Director Anna Patton, opens its doors to new singers this fall with two open rehearsals on Thursday, September 10. The non-auditioned community chorus offers a choice between a morning or evening weekly rehearsals and welcomes women and non-binary or gender-queer folks, ages 10 and up, whose range comfortably includes the A in the middle of the treble staff (soprano, alto, and high tenor ranges).
This fall’s eclectic repertoire features both rich harmonies and unisons, settings of powerful poetry, and also humor. Planned pieces include Bernice Johnson Reagon’s “Give Your Hands to Struggle,” Rani Arbo’s setting of Tennyson’s “Ring Out, Wild Bells,” and a new piece by Musical Director Anna Patton.
The chorus learns songs by ear and by heart. Audio tracks, word sheets, and sometimes written music are provided for practicing at home. While the season culminates in concerts on November 21 and 22, performance participation is optional.
Rehearsals take place every Thursday starting September 10. Morning rehearsals meet from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Brattleboro Music Center, and evening rehearsals run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the First Congregational Church in West Brattleboro.
Tuition for the session operates on a sliding scale of $85 to $180, though financial assistance is readily available to ensure community singing remains accessible to all.
Advance online registration is required for both open rehearsals and the full semester.

This autumn edition brings the vibrant energy of the 1980s straight to Brattleboro.

Shake off whatever is weighing on you in a joyful, welcoming space.
The dance floor is open to everyone and intentionally centers women, queer, trans, and nonbinary community members—because everyone deserves a safe place to exhale, move, and feel strong.
For those who want to dress the part, Center for Solace’s beloved thrift store, Experienced Goods, will feature a special rack of 80s threads. It is the perfect excuse to find neon gear, leg warmers, or acid-wash denim before the party kicks off.
Admission is $15–$40 in advance via our website (for donut counts) or at the door, with all proceeds benefiting Center for Solace’s many free programs. A cash bar and donuts from Mermaid Collective will be available for purchase.
The mission of Center for Solace is to offer services and support — free of charge — for serious illness, hospice, and grief, while engaging our community in conversations about mortality and life. In every season, the organization believes in creating spaces for both reflection and joy.

Apples are sacred trees to the old Irish druidic peoples; orchards are even more special for the nourishment they provide. Representing love, healing, and youthfulness, apples symbolized the letter Q in the Ogham script of Ireland. Join Mike Bald, our Royalton neighbor and Elf-minder, in building your own magic for the supernatural beings who protect the trees. Mike provides wooden blanks or “cookies” and paints and brushes and river stones, while participants provide the inspiration to create unique fairy doors and elf houses. Stories, a touch of history, seasonal treats, and good company do create a very special energy!
The Duchess of Navarre decides it’s time for the family to take a trip to the seaside; everyone else is doing it, so why shouldn’t they? Unfortunately, the tides take a turn for the worse, and they must battle not only sunburn, sand, and squid, but also… each other.
The Family Vacation is performed by NEYT’s Commedia Troupe, a group of middle and high school students touring the show to area schools and venues. Inspired by Commedia dell’arte, the show features over-the-top characters and fantastic physical comedy.
Michael Hahn Trio and James Graham split the bill in a 3:00 matinee on September 13, 2026. Tickets are a generously discounted $10 in advance through stage33live.com, or $15 at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold. All ticket proceeds go to the performers. The performances will be recorded and filmed.
Michael Hahn started playing out during the Summer of Love, 1967, at the age of 14. Over the decades he’s performed with acclaimed dance bands including Hornbeam, Don’t Call Betty, Hoochie Lombardo, Whetstone, and Ten Mile Shuffle Band. Having hit 70 years old, he still performs every couple weeks with either his trio or his five-piece band. He’s bringing the trio for this show. Along with Michael, there’s Sid Gulick on guitar and vocal, and John Pheiffer on cello.
James Graham got started in the “anti-folk” scene that sprang up in the East Village of NYC around 1990 as a response to the West Village folk scene that no longer seemed relevant in a world ravaged by the politics of Reagan and Thatcher, and seemingly given up on racial justice. In 2004 he moved to New Hampshire and resisted the pull of bluegrass and old-timey Americana, staying true to his rock, soul, reggae, and punk influences — music seeking to make sense out of the complicated human condition while creating sounds that move the spirit.

He graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts in Havana, & by his mid–teens he was working steadily in Havana.
Following graduation he stepped right into the life of the popular musician, touring Cuba, Europe, Africa & Asia with the fabled Orquesta Aragón & also as a sideman in jazz groups & , beginning in 1984, leading his own Afro-Cuban jazz rock fusion band, Grupo Proyecto.
Encounters with Dizzy Gillespie & , in 1986, with Charlie Haden & then Blue Note Records president, Bruce Lundvall, set the stage for him to perform & record in the United States & Europe.

Next Stage Arts and Twilight Music present Nashville-based bluegrass quintet Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road and Vermont singer-songwriter Diane Zeigler.
Hailed by No Depression as “the future of bluegrass,” Liam Purcell & Cane Mill Road blend deep Appalachian roots with inventive contemporary musicianship. A Berklee College of Music graduate and the only musician ever to win multiple RockyGrass instrumental championships in the same year, Purcell brings a fresh, virtuosic approach to American string-band music.
Eight-time national songwriting award winner Diane Zeigler pairs crystalline vocals and distinctive open-tuning guitar work with finely crafted songs. After stepping away from performing for nearly two decades, the acclaimed Vermont songwriter has returned to writing and the stage. She will be joined by bassist Geoffrey Sather and special guests Bruce and Barry Stockwell of the Stockwell Brothers.
