The vocal quartet "Ah! Capella" from the Vermont Symphony Kids program, visited Union School. Soprano Claire Hungerford, alto Linda Radtke, tenor Cameron Steinmetz, and bass Brett Murphy offered a kaleidoscope of colors, rhythms, and forms of vocal writing. The audience participated in the performance, even learning to sing a South African hunting song at one point. Other favorite selections include a cowboy song from Colombia, a song about bullying, arranged by Robert DeCormier, and "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Later in the morning, as students got ready for recess, I observed a group of students reenacting the performance on their own!
