Vermont Symphony Orchestra

The Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s fall season launches with back-to-back performances of “East Meets West” at the Flynn in Burlington and Paramount Theatre in Rutland. Grammy Award-winning Indian tabla player and composer Sandeep Das and acclaimed sitarist Rajib Karmakar headline the culturally rich concert, exploring parallels and contrasts between Eastern and Western music. The program deftly blends genres spanning baroque to modern electronica while shining a light on the idiosyncrasies and universality of musical traditions across the globe. “Incorporating a diverse range of works,” music director Andrew Crust said of the unique lineup, “helps to broaden the impact and imagination of the VSO.”
