$22 Advance / $25 Door / $10 LivestreamSol y Canto is an award-winning Pan-Latin ensemble led by Puerto Rican/Argentine singer and percussionist Rosi Amador and New Mexican guitarist, singer, and composer Brian Amador. Known for making their music accessible to both Spanish- and non-Spanish-speaking audiences of all ages, Sol y Canto features Rosi’s crystalline voice and Brian’s lush Spanish guitar, alongside inventive compositions. Occasionally, the group is joined by virtuoso musicians from Latin America and the U.S.Sol y Canto’s original songs are distinguished by poetic, often quirky lyrics set against a backdrop of varied musical styles with surprising twists. Their performances can make you dance, laugh, cry, and sigh—all in one concert. Their arrangements of classic and contemporary Latin tunes are always fresh and original. With Brian’s intricate guitar playing, Rosi’s rhythmic drive on cajón and bongos, and a liberal use of vocal improvisation, the duo often sounds like a much larger ensemble.Since 1994, Sol y Canto has brought audiences to their feet at venues from the Kennedy Center to the California World Music Festival, Boston’s Symphony Hall, Puerto Rico’s Museo de Arte, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as countless club shows and house concerts. The Boston Globe hails them as “sublime ambassadors of the Pan-Latin tradition.” Music critic Norman Weinstein of the Christian Science Monitor and Boston Phoenix observes:“Every Sol y Canto album is a demonstration of what the poet Federico García Lorca identified as deep song. Always, they evoke the sensual splendor of simply being vitally, vividly alive in a magical and mysterious universe. Brian Amador is a Spanish modernist poet in the guise of a musician…Together, Rosi and Brian Amador create a musical marriage made in heaven.”<iframe-embed src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EEd_EYJ2CIQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" height="518" width="921" style="" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="youtube"></iframe-embed>The Soubrettes is a vocal ensemble under the umbrella of the Vermont Jazz Center, led by director/arranger Anna Patton. The group performs intricate vocal harmony arrangements of swing, jazz, and blues, as well as songs by contemporary songwriters. A soubrette is a term from musical theater referring to the non-leading lady, who is often more worldly, instrumental in the plot, and funnier than the lead. These are the kinds of songs the group tends to perform—songs with wit, sass, and plenty of character.Sol y Canto is excited to welcome The Soubrettes for an unforgettable first-time collaboration, featuring a delightful mix of stunning arrangements for the chorus, including a lively Cuban classic with an audience sing-along, along with original works by beloved contemporary Latin musicians. This special concert will also invite the audience to join in with vocal improvisations and singing, guided by the talented Rosi Amador, creating a truly immersive musical experience.
