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 Center for the Arts 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."

Pete Sutherland's contributions to the vitality of musical traditions in Vermont, New England and throughout the US are profound and lasting. Ever so many musicians were touched by his masterful performance skills, his wisdom, and ethical insights into the essential worth of our communion in music and dance - and its importance to our collective health as a society. Jeremiah and Paul will offer special tunes and stories associated with him in a thankful tribute.
