About this event
One of 7 upcoming events at Henry Sheldon Museum.
The 2026–27 Vermont Symphony Orchestra season opens with music inspired and created by powerful women—from Björk to Cleopatra, spanning 19th-century Vermont to the Persian Empire. The concert premieres a VSO commission by composer Clarice Assad, based on the historic Weybridge couple Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake, alongside selections from Giuseppi Verdi’s Aida and Hector Berlioz’ La mort de Cléopâtre. The dramatic and sweeping Scheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov brings this memorable program to a vivid close. Please note: educator discounts are available.
