Patria Oppressa
Counterpoint explores the world of opera! We join forces with the chorus of the Opera Company of Middlebury, pianist Mary Jane Austin, and baritone Nicholas Tocci for a powerful program featuring operatic scenes where the chorus laments over oppression or protests against tyranny. Sources include famous and unfamiliar works by Verdi, Berlioz, Musorgsky, Beethoven, Prokofiev, and many others.

La Bonne Chanson
Following up on our 2024 “Sceptered Isle” program highlighting works from the English Choral Tradition, we present concerts of ancient and modern secular a cappella works from France. The program includes choral chansons from the 16th century by composers such as Crecquillon, Janequin, Le Jeune, Passereau, and Sermisy, as well as partsongs by Saint-Saens, folksong settings by Poulenc, and the famous sets of choral songs by Debussy and Ravel.

For summer 2027, Counterpoint celebrates the moods, sounds, and denizens of our lakes. The concert includes works by Schumann, Delius, Mendelssohn, Stanford, and Barber, arrangements of beloved folksongs, and settings of poems by Carl Sandburg, Jay Parini, and of course William Butler Yeats’s famous lyric The Lake Isle of Innisfree.
