Trombone choir plays the Little City
VERGENNES — Call them big, call them brassy, you can even call them loud, and they will consider it a compliment.
We are talking about the Vermont Trombone Choir, a 14-member group with a connection to and deep love of the trombone. This talented group of musicians, ages 20 to 86, are making their performance debut at the Vergennes Opera House this Sunday, Dec. 3, at 2 p.m. Founder Robert Wigness, Professor Emeritus at UVM, heard about the Vergennes Opera House and its All Access Project and offered up the group as a way to help raise funds to make the historic building accessible to more potential patrons.
The musicians come from all over Vermont and nearby New York state. The evening will be introduced by VOH Board Vice President Jim Lanpher, who actually studied under Professor Wigness in the 1970s!
Tickets may be purchased online at VergennesOperaHouse.org or at the door. General seating tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students 18 and younger. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. with the show starting at 2 p.m.
