2023-24 Season Announcement
We are nearing the end of our sabbatical year, and we want to express our gratitude for your well-wishes, your financial support, and your encouragement. We have both so appreciated the time to rest, recharge, and renew. And we are excited to begin our season this September! Our renewed vision for Scrag is one of “healing and connection in musical service to our community.” It is “Music as Grace for all of life’s stages.” We have been moving in this direction for a number of years—honing in on exactly what is meaningful to us personally about music and how we can better serve you, our community.
We will continue to offer residencies for musician artists, accessible community concerts, and community engagement as we always have done, with a special emphasis on spiritual chamber music that connects us to one another and to our common humanity. In addition to our residencies, lullaby projects, and school performances, we will be adding Spiritual Soundings hosted by Evan—live music experiences for mindfulness and meditation—and exploring and unfolding a pilot year of bringing music to hospice clients in central Vermont.
We have a rich season in the works and are so excited to share the new directions and new growth with you all!
