Celebrate National Poetry Month with Big Woods Voices, singing original musical arrangements of poetry reflecting diverse musical influences in unaccompanied four-part vocal harmony.

Their repertoire celebrates poets old and new, American roots genres, world folk styles, and Will Danforth’s deep creative well. From heart-stopping to foot-stomping, prayerful to fun-filled, dissonant to dulcet, Big Woods Voices brings the spirit of southern Vermont to life through rich harmonies and soulful interpretations.

Big Woods Voices unites four veteran singers in celebrating their common passion for a cappella harmony: 

  • Will Danforth, singer-songwriter, traditional acoustic artist, and arranger/composer
  • Alan Blood, long-time member of the Blanche Moyse Chorale, I Cantori, Blue Moon and House Blend
  • Becky Graber, founder and leader of the Brattleboro Women’s Chorus
  • Amanda Witman, founder and leader of the Brattleboro Pub Sing

This concert is sponsored by the Friends of Memorial Hall Library.

Seating is available on a first-come basis. Doors open at 2:15pm.
