Although we had to postpone our 2020 festival, we have planned a wonderful series of events to enjoy together -- our 2020 LCCMF Lagniappe! A lagniappe is a small bonus gift - in this case the gift of being able to enjoy music together on Zoom and Vermont Public Radio even though we are at home.

A Message to Our Community

By |2020-06-17T15:43:29-04:00June 5th, 2020|Uncategorized|Comments Off on A Message to Our Community

Like so many of you, we are heartbroken and outraged at the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police officers sworn to protect him. Repeated acts of police brutality, and the attempts to suppress peaceful protests across our country, are part of a deeply-embedded, centuries-long tradition of racial injustice, violence and oppression of people of color. Arts organizations have a deep responsibility in the present [...]
