ADDISON COUNTY — The Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s string trio known as “Symphony Reel” will present performances at three area schools on April 12. The trio will visit Beeman Elementary School in New Haven at 9 a.m., Vergennes Union Elementary School at 10:30 a.m. and Ferrisburgh Central School at 1:30 p.m.
Symphony Reel takes students on a unique journey though a range of musical styles, including classical and folk. The musicians — cellist John Dunlop, violinist Laura Markowitz, and violist Ana Ruesink — are all veteran performers with the symphony and experienced educators as well. The presentation ends with the creation of a unique folk tune for the school.
The performances are part of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s statewide SymphonyKids education program, which reached over 22,000 schoolchildren last year with 257 presentations serving 139 schools in 111 different towns.
