In early March, many of us were on hand for the packed performances by the Paris Piano Trio. It was extraordinary music performed by some of the most beloved musicians to grace the Capital City Concerts stage. Since then I have had that Joni Mitchell tune stuck in my head . . . "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til it's gone . . .”  We had a full season scheduled for '20-'21 but we had to cancel our fall concerts. Spring concerts are on the calendar, and if it is safe to gather, we will. 

In the meantime, I'm excited to announce a special project with you and your health in mind: This fall we have launched a podcast called Muse Mentors. My life was changed 26 years ago when I met my mentor Louis Moyse and one of the fruits of that relationship is Capital City Concerts. Over the past two decades you have read impressive bios of Capital City Concerts performers. What those words do not reveal are the personal stories of deep connection between student and mentor.

In this podcast I will invite guests to recount how their mentor's approach to the arts spills over into life at large. This will be your chance to hear the back-story of many artists with strong Vermont connections including soprano Hyunah Yu, pianists Jeffrey Chappell and Paul Orgel, violinist Nick Kitchen, and Laurie Smukler, flutist Paula Robison, and other artists including Circus Smirkus founder Rob Mermin, the remarkable young illustrator Armando Veve. You can subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen for free.

​Finally, as a non-profit, we need to keep soliciting gifts. Simply put: Our survival depends on it. Realizing that everyone has a unique circumstance, we ask that you please consider a gift if you are able. Either way please know that you are a treasured member of the Vermont music community.
Capital City Concerts presents unique chamber music concerts performed by some of the world's finest musicians, in collaboration with outstanding Vermont artists. Founded in 2000 by Grammy-nominated flutist Karen Kevra, the classical music concert series is based in Montpelier, the capital of Vermont. We bring the passion and beauty of classical music to Vermont. 2019-2020 is the 20th Anniversary season. 

The primary venue for the concerts is the intimate and acoustically wonderful sanctuary of the Unitarian Church of Montpelier. This year additional concerts will take place at Saint Paul's Cathedral in Burlington, at the Saint Augustine Church in Montpelier, and in the Cedar Creek Room of the Vermont State House.
