Experience Music, History, and Nature at The Sembrich

Our 2025 festival, The Gilded Age, views the world of late-19th and early-20th century America through the career of Marcella Sembrich and the opulence of the era. Join us as we explore the diverse music that mirrored the culture of the time – in a series of concerts, lectures and films, concluding with an elegant vocal recital rich with gems from Sembrich’s operatic repertoire – all performed by today’s finest concert artists.

In The Good Old Summertime

with Counterpoint Vocal Ensemble

As the success of HBO's "The Gilded Age" shows, the final decades of the 19th century in America continue to fascinate the public. The age of the robber barons was also the peak of the middle-class parlor piano and vaudeville, and saw a flowering of tragic ballads, naïve love lyrics, theater songs and pictures of city life, as well as the first stirrings of Tin Pan Alley. In this concert, Vermont-based chamber chorus Counterpoint will lead a tour of this repertory, in sparkling a cappella arrangements that show off what critics have praised as the ensemble's “clarity, skill” and “sophisticated musical expressiveness."
