THE ARIOSO PROJECT
The Arioso Project aims to make the first commercial recording of James Simon’s Arioso for solo cello, written in 1929, and unfinished at the time of the composer’s death in Auschwitz. Arioso was dedicated to the cellist Eva Heinitz, who emigrated to the United States and eventually settled in Seattle in 1948, where she became a much-respected and well-known cello professor. The Arioso manuscript is now part of the permanent collection of the University of Washington. Rommel has commissioned five composers (from Iran and the United States) to write a reflection on this piece as a way to “resurrect” it into the present day, through themes of creativity under oppression and in the context of more relevant and contemporary understandings of adversity.

Brattleboro Women’s Chorus Presents: Circle Round, Our 30th Anniversary Fall Concerts
Two joyful concerts led by Becky Graber and Anna Patton to Celebrate 30 Years
The Brattleboro Women’s Chorus invites the community to join in song and celebration at their 30th annual fall concerts, Circle Round, directed by Becky Graber and Anna Patton. The concerts will be held on Saturday and Sunday November 22 and 23 at 4:00 pm at the Brattleboro Music Center. Sunday’s show will also be live streamed and recorded. These concerts feature close to 100 singers raising their voices together in a spirited and heartfelt program about connection, gratitude, and courage.
“Circle Round” includes a rich variety of songs that explore the power of living in community. The program features Joan Szymko’s “Here” and “Nothing Short of Grace,” the beloved “Seasons of Love” from RENT, and Linda Hirschhorn’s “Ilu Finu” and “Circle Chant.” Another favorite this fall is the lighthearted “Out to Breakfast,” written by Pete Sutherland and arranged by Anna Patton. The chorus will also perform original works by both Graber and Patton, whose compositions and arrangements have become audience favorites.
The chorus always features guest musicians for our performances and this fall is no exception. Cathy Martin will accompany the chorus on piano, and Michelle Liechti will play violin on several songs.
The Brattleboro Women’s Chorus is celebrating 30 years of bringing together singers of many backgrounds to experience the joys of community harmony singing. Audiences can expect an uplifting afternoon of rich harmonies, moving lyrics, and the unmistakable energy that comes from many voices united in song.
Join us for “Circle Round” on November 22 & 23 at 4 pm at the Brattleboro Music Center. Both in-person and live stream tickets are sold on a sliding scale of $15-$30 per person. These shows are expected to sell out, so purchase your tickets in advance at: www.brattleborowomenschorus.org/concerts.
AfterTalk is a collaborative new work of poetic theater featuring Adrienne Major and David Zucker, with a host of creative artistic contributors: cellist Eugene Friesen, artist Eric Aho (projected paintings), choreographer Alison Mott, lighting and sound designer Francesca Bourgeault, production manager Jenny Holan, and director Eric Bass.
Written by award-winning poet and former Vermont Poet Laureate Chard deNiord (2015–2019), the play unfolds as a lyrical dialogue between the ancient Sumerian couple Inanna, Goddess of Fertility, and Dumuzi, God of Agriculture and date palms. Meeting one last time in the mysterious threshold between worlds, they revisit the dimensions of their love and the infinite question of whether their bond will soon sever for eternity.
Although nearly 7,000 years old, the antiphonal poem that inspired AfterTalk—a precursor to King Solomon’s Song of Songs—was not unearthed until 1947 in the ruins of the ancient Sumerian city of Nippur. DeNiord reimagines this timeless text in a contemporary theatrical setting, weaving music, movement, poetry, and visual art into a compelling exploration of love, power, and memory.
Join us to witness what happens when poetry, music, movement, and art converge on stage.

In its first incarnation, Stax Records stood as a testament to the creative power of racial integration. But after Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination shook Memphis to its core, new co-owner Al Bell steered the label toward a mission of African American pride and uplift. The culmination of his vision was a jubilant concert marking the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots, featuring Jesse Jackson and Richard Pryor alongside Isaac Hayes and the Staples Singers. For all its inspirational moments, the show is stolen by prankster Rufus Thomas, who tames an unruly crowd with his irresistible rendition of “Do the Funky Chicken.”
Co-presented with Next Chapter Records.
Question: What’s left for the celebrated composer-lyricist with six Broadway musicals—The Band’s Visit, The Full Monty, Tootsie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Dead Outlaw, and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown—under his belt, plus countless awards including a Tony for Best Musical (The Band’s Visit)?
Answer: A gig in Putney, Vermont!
Yes, David Yazbek fulfills his lifelong dream of tickling the ivories on the beautiful Steinway grand at Next Stage and invites you to join him for an evening of songs from his Broadway shows and solo albums—one night only.
Dubbed by Yazbek “A Few Cheery Songs About Death,” the concert promises his trademark witty repartee, behind-the-scenes storytelling, and the wonderfully eclectic musical sensibility that inspired The New York Times’ Stephen Holden to call him “a daredevil juggler catching spiked pins in the traveling carnival of his imagination.”
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see one of theater’s most innovative composers doing what he loves most—thrilling a live audience.
