Vermont-based Village Harmony, the remarkable teen world music ensemble, presents its concert program of the summer. The Teen Ensemble I will be led by Patty Cuyler, Lonnie Norwood, and Liam Kantor.These brilliant teen singers come from seven states, Canada, and France. Village Harmony, a nonprofit umbrella organization based in Vermont, promotes the study and performance of ethnic singing traditions from around the world. For more than thirty years, they have organized teen ensembles each summer in New England and ensembles for mixed-age and adult singers in numerous foreign countries. Each Village Harmony ensemble develops its own unique sound with a different team of leaders. All share common traits: a powerful, natural, unrestrained vocal sound; a remarkable variety of vocal styles and timbres appropriate to the ethnic and traditional music; and a visible, vibrant community among the singers and audience as they share in a joyful celebration of music.
