The program includes works by two Vermont composers, David Gunn and Dennis Báthory-Kitsz, both of whom will be in attendance to offer introductory remarks. Báthory-Kitsz composed his work, “Evil Pony,” for the Frontier Quartet, and this performance will be the world premiere.
Other works on the program are Ferenc Farkas’ “Old Hungarian Dances,” Everett Gates’ “Declamation and Dance,” Jack Marshall’s “Goldrush Suite” and the “Story” movement from John Cage’s “Living Room Music.”
