Big Woods Voices at A Cappella à la Carte

Friends of Music at Guilford’s 53rd season finale, its annual A Cappella à la Carte, begins at 6:00 p.m. with a brief and merry Membership Meeting and continues at 6:30 or so with a Community Potluck, both open to all. The music begins at 7:30 with a concert by The Big Woods Voices. This area quartet marries singing traditions from around the world with American roots genres and original compositions and arrangements in which harmony and dissonance dance in riveting yet accessible soundscapes. Members include Alan Blood, long-time member of groups including the Blanche Moyse Chorale, I Cantori, Blue Moon and House Blend; Will Danforth, singer-songwriter, traditional acoustic artist, and the group’s arranger/composer; Becky Graber, leader of the Brattleboro Women’s Chorus and Animaterra Women’s Chorus in Keene; and Amanda Witman, founder and co-leader of the Brattleboro Pub Sing with Tony Barrand. A dessert reception caps the evening. Concert admission is by donation at the door. For further information, contact the FOMAG office at 802-254-3600 or office@fomag.org.
