Join us next week, when Manchester Music Festival partners with Vermont Symphony Orchestra to present VSO Jukebox: Color Theory at Helmholz Fine Art Gallery on Sunday, October 22, 2023 at 5:30pm.

The Jukebox Fall series showcases the intersection between music and art with works inspired by vivid colors, imagery, and artwork.  The Jukebox Quartet (Brooke Quiggins-Saulnier and Ben Lively, violins, Stefanie Taylor, viola, and John Dunlop, cello) will perform works by Jessie Montgomery, Philip Glass, Benjamin Britten, Javier Alvarez, and more.  

Over the duration of the concert, the music will guide and inform a live painting experience with Haitian/Vermont artist Julio Desmont as he creates a new piece of artwork in real-time.  At times, quartet members will trade out their bows for brushes, joining Julio at the canvas.  Toward the end of the evening, audience members will be invited to leave their own mark on the painting for a truly communal artistic experience. Curated and hosted by Matt LaRocca. Following the concert, there will be a reception with savory bites, light refreshments, and a chance to mix and mingle with the musicians, Julio, and Matt.

Doors open at 5:00 pm at Helmholz Fine Art gallery, 442 Depot Street.  Concert begins promptly at 5:30 pm. Seating is limited. Buy tickets here.

This concert is made possible through partnership with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and Helmholz Fine Art.
