Join us for The Music The Forest Holds on Sunday September 27th at 2pm featuring local musicians Allison Mann and Colin McCaffrey! Colin and Allison started playing music together in 1992 and have play periodically together over the years, delivering their beautifully blended harmonies in folk and jazz tunes. This opportunity to play acoustically, with no amplification, is rare and delightful, and they are pleased to support the Vermont Forest Cemetery.
Colin is an award-winning composer, a multi-instrumentalist, and sought-after music producer. He has a gift of understanding musicians’ intentions and providing the musical and technical know-how to manifest those intentions. In 2019, Seven Days published this really wonderful story about Colin and his work: https://www.sevendaysvt.com/tag/colin-mccaffrey/
As a singer, movement/dance/yoga instructor, Allison’s body is her instrument. In the physical realm—as well as mental and emotional—her guiding principle is the development of strength, flexibility, alignment, grounding, clarity, and balance to create and support as free a flow of sound as possible. Using the energy these qualities provide, she interprets lyrics to convey each story, and aims to create sound that, in and of itself, fosters wholeness and healing.
Following the concert at 3pm there with be a Founder's Tour with founder and head cemeterian Michelle Hogle Acciavatti. Come experience beautiful music and storytelling underneath the white pines.
RSVP Today!
