The Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival announces the release of its first highlight CD: Festival Harvest "The Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival has come a long way since it was founded in 1993 by Peter Sanders, a New York cellist who grew up spending his summers in the Randolph area. An indication of just how far is its excellent New CD, "Festival Harvest," a compilation of live performances of works by Mendelssohn, Schönberg and Frank Bridge at the Chandler Music Hall in 2000 and 2004. When I first heard the album, I had recently heard an excellent performance of Mendelssohn's A Major String Quintet at Vermont's justly revered Marlboro Music Festival. The same work opens this CD, and I actually preferred the Randolph performance. That's big praise."

Jefferson's deep appreciation for the arts helped shape the aesthetic tastes of the creative minds of the new American republic. Paul Woodiel leads a survey of the music heard within the elegant parlors of the residence, as well as within the distant slave quarters there, where Africans began the creative blending of their own music with those of white Americans, in ways that would radically transform the course of almost all American music which has followed over the centuries.
