The current COVID-19 Policy is as follows:
For indoor events, masks are recommended for all audience members and for all players who can do so while playing and for wind players while not playing. Wind players are encouraged to use bell covers or other protective gear when practical. Vaccination is required for all players, except those with medical exemptions. For outdoor events, masks are optional.
COVID is again on the rise. Many of our audience and orchestra members are in vulnerable groups. We ask that all audience members and all players who can do so while playing wear masks at the concert. Let’s take home just fond memories of the music!

MESSIAH CHORUS:
Email: vpchorus@vermontphilharmonic.com
For all you singers out there –
It’s time for the Vermont Philharmonic’s performance of Handel’s MESSIAH for the year 2024!
Once again we have the incomparable Mary Jane Austin as our rehearsal chorus director and will have the equally matchless Christopher McWilliams at the piano, plus Arthur Zorn for one rehearsal only!
The chorus will be rehearsing in November at Bethany Church, 115 Main Street in Montpelier. The first will be Friday evening November 1st, the rest will be Sunday afternoons, the 17th, 24th and December 1st. The times are listed below.
Bethany has fully recovered from last year's floods and is eager to host us again.
Remember to bring your own score, although loaner scores are available. The preferred version is Watkins Shaw – Novello edition. They are available on Amazon.com for less than $10.
BRING YOUR FRIENDS! SPREAD THE WORD! FORWARD THIS TO ALL THE SINGERS YOU KNOW!
