Vermont Symphony Orchestra 2018 TD Bank Summer Festival Tour

Majestic rivers, verdant fields and gardens manifest through music in “Gifts of Nature,” the Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s 2018 TD Bank Summer Festival Tour program. With guest conductor Sarah Hicks, the traveling ensemble, with 22-year-old Venezuelan violin virtuoso Rubén Rengel, delights concertgoers with works inspired by the natural world. Selections include Johann Strauss Jr.’s “Voices of Spring Waltz,” Percy Grainger’s “Country Gardens” and an excerpt from George Frideric Handel’s “Water Music.” A patriotic finale features a rousing rendition of John Philip Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Forever” and a dazzling fireworks display.
