VSO Made in Vermont with Kat Wright – South Burlington

November 3, 2023 @ 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm

BUY TICKETS HERE

Curated and conducted by Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s Artistic Advisor and Project Conductor Matt LaRocca, the 2023 Made in Vermont series highlights a guest artist from our state’s vibrant indie, folk, and rock scene. The VSO’s chamber orchestra performs musical favorites by Henry Purcell and Manuel De Falla and welcomes a special guest to the stage: Vermont’s own sensational soul singer Kat Wright. The program also features new works by two Vermont composers, Kyle Saulnier and Erik Nielsen. Saulnier is a unique and innovative composer whose style fuses modern orchestral techniques with jazz and industrial rock, and Nielsen’s new piece for string orchestra is a tribute to Pete Sutherland, a friend and mentor as well as a Vermont legend.

“Wright has that special balance of power and grace in her voice that can shimmer and float to the top…” – Red Line Roots

While you’ll still hear the Bonnie Raitt and Amy Winehouse influences in her music, echoes of Brandi Carlisle and Norah Jones are newly present in Kat’s performances, as well. Join us in welcoming the VSO and Kat Wright back to Higher Ground!

Doors open: 7:30 p.m. Showtime 8:30 p.m.

This concert is presented at the Higher Ground Ballroom, 1214 Williston Rd., South Burlington.
