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."

If you have already enjoyed a concert in past summers please, tell a friend. Randolph is a lovely town nestled in the beautiful and scenic rolling hills of Central Vermont. Chandler Music Hall is the acoustically premiere concert hall in the area. With many fine B&Bs and Inn's in the area the festival can be the center of a wonderful weekend getaway. Come enjoy world-class chamber music in one of the most stunning locations in the Northeast. I look forward to meeting you at a concert reception! Peter Sanders Artistic Director "...Saturday's Central Vermont Chamber Festival concert at Chandler Music Hall had me babbling by intermission. When Peter Sanders told his listeners from the stage that they don't know how lucky they are, he was dead right. Except that I think they do know how lucky they are. He's lucky, too."    - Peter Goodman, as appeared in the HERALD, Randolph, Vermont, August 27, 2009. (read the full review here) "Stanziano delivered the dramatic washes of notes with clarity and virtuosity, while Delmoni and Sanders plied the dramatic lines with passion. They also responded to the subtle moments with sensitivity, making this a grand - and fun - performance." "The Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival has become a welcome tradition in Randolph and the central Vermont area, and Saturday's impassioned high level illustrates just why." "Chamber music festival opens with finesse, spirit. Just when you think you've heard enough chamber music for the summer, someone comes along and performs the Mozart Clarinet Quintet - beautifully, in this case - and the passion returns immediately."    - Jim Lowe: The Times Argus, VT The festival is a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the IRS.
