Labor Day Weekend Festival Organ Concert

September 5, 2026 7:30 pm

Friends of Music at Guilford’s 60th Labor Day Weekend Festival resumes the tradition, interrupted by COVID, of a concert on the historic 19th-century Guilford Tracker Organ.  Through the summer, organ specialist Larry Nevin, who restored the organ 3+ decades ago, has worked on bringing the organ out of its hibernation and back to making music.

On Saturday, September 5 at 7:30 pm, we will have not one but TWO familiar area organists!  Frederick Gray will start with a set including Bach, Mozart, and even some familiar hymns, and after a brief intermission, Seth Phoenix will play Handel, Mendelssohn, and much more.

Being the 60th, and in celebration of the return of the organ, the concert will be followed by a reception!

The Organ Barn is located at The Kopkind Colony, 158 Kopkind Road, Guilford, VT; there will be signs st intersections.  Please allow a full half hour from Brattleboro, and keep in mind it’s a narrow hilly dirt road.

For more information, call 802-254-3600 or email office@fomag.org or visit FOMAG’s Facebook page.

    Just clarifying, like the majority of FOMAG’s concerts, there is no admission or ticket fee, but donations are accepted at the door. One of FOMAG’s purposes is to make music accessible to as many local people as possible.
