Both concerts will be at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier (130 Main St.). The Onion River Chorus is directed by Richard Riley and accompanied by pianist Christopher McWilliams.\nCherubini’s Requiem Mass\, composed in 1816\, was so well-known and admired that it was sung at Ludwig van Beethoven’s funeral in 1827. The work was greatly admired by many composers\, including Beethoven\, Robert Schumann\, Hector Berlioz and Johannes Brahms. Cherubini sets the traditional text of the requiem mass with very diverse music\, ranging from the operatic Dies Irae to the poignantly lyrical Pie Jesu.\nThe 40-minute-long Requiem Mass is the highlight of the concerts by the Onion River Chorus. The concerts also feature three shorter works by friends and admirers of Cherubini. The “Kyrie” is a beautiful choral arrangement of the Adagio from Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”. “Powers of Heaven” is a magnificent choral anthem by Cherubini’s teacher\, Giuseppe Sarti (1729-1802). “Dall oriente l’astro del giorno” is a joyful piece for piano and chorus by the flamboyant Italian opera composer Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868).\nTickets are $25 at the door or in advance at sevendaystickets.com. As always\, 18 and under are free. For more info visit onionriverchorus.org or call 802.476.2541.

Both concerts will be at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier (130 Main St.). The Onion River Chorus is directed by Richard Riley and accompanied by pianist Christopher McWilliams.\nCherubini’s Requiem Mass\, composed in 1816\, was so well-known and admired that it was sung at Ludwig van Beethoven’s funeral in 1827. The work was greatly admired by many composers\, including Beethoven\, Robert Schumann\, Hector Berlioz and Johannes Brahms. Cherubini sets the traditional text of the requiem mass with very diverse music\, ranging from the operatic Dies Irae to the poignantly lyrical Pie Jesu.\nThe 40-minute-long Requiem Mass is the highlight of the concerts by the Onion River Chorus. The concerts also feature three shorter works by friends and admirers of Cherubini. The “Kyrie” is a beautiful choral arrangement of the Adagio from Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”. “Powers of Heaven” is a magnificent choral anthem by Cherubini’s teacher\, Giuseppe Sarti (1729-1802). “Dall oriente l’astro del giorno” is a joyful piece for piano and chorus by the flamboyant Italian opera composer Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868).\nTickets are $25 at the door or in advance at sevendaystickets.com. As always\, 18 and under are free. For more info visit onionriverchorus.org or call 802.476.2541.

T. Anderson\, whose National Book Award-winning novel The Pox Party explored this history\, will discuss some of the lost and overlooked stories of that revolution within the Revolution\, and why they’re important to remember in this celebratory anniversary year.

We’ll brainstorm content ideas\, discuss what’s actually working right now\, explore collaborations\, and share experiences. The goal? You leave feeling inspired and ready to create a few new posts for your page.  We will  share hook ideas\, trending sound ideas\, adding words to the screen\, adding captions\, and anything else you would like to cover.

Members Imani Wilcox\, Tre Hardson\, and Romye Robinson were dancers by trade. Derrick Stewart joined the group in 1990 and their debut\, Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde\, catapulted them into the alternative rap scene. Opening for acts like Tribe Called Quest and participating in tours like Lollapalooza earned them fans outside of hip-hop. And the single “Passin’ Me By” landed in the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Rap Singles chart. \nNow in 2026 three original members Imani\, Slimkid & Fatlip have been touring all over the world and are making their only Vermont stop of 2026 with local support from Konflik and Nasteeloves you at Afterthoughts in Waitsfield\, VT this Friday May 8th at 8 pm. \nOpening the show we have local artists Konflik + NasteeLuvzYou. \nTickets will sell out quickly- don’t miss out!
