'Connections Across the Centuries': Philharmonic opener celebrates … – Rutland Herald

To open its 56th season, the Vermont Philharmonic is embracing DEI — diversity, equity and inclusion — with Dvorak.

“We are going to take pieces that should be heard onto our repertoire — pieces that may have been ignored, composers who may have been ignored, but they have something to say, and I will be adding them to our programs,” explains Lou Kosma, the Philharmonic’s music director since 1999.
