Vermont Symphony Orchestra: A Night at the Movies

A Night at the Movies features a live, 22-piece VSO chamber orchestra accompanying seven documentary and animation films with Vermont ties. The program weaves through a breadth of musical styles and film stories, from two animated shopping carts searching for love to the story of Hansel and Gretel. Adventurous lemurs learn to fly, a little girl grows up in an undocumented farmworker family, and a director chronicles his path from prison to filmmaking.

How We See Water by Robin Starbuck (music by Waterbury composer Matt LaRocca)

Two Balloons by Mark Smith (music by Peter Broderick)
