Vermont’s own indie-soul queen Myra Flynn joins the VSO for its annual family-friendly orchestra holiday concert conducted by VSO Music Director, Andrew Crust. We’ll explore familiar melodies, bring some jazz flair to a holiday classic, and enjoy Flynn’s soulful voice as she brings to life Christmas carols, folk music, and one of her own original compositions. We’ll also spotlight VSO Assistant Concertmaster Kathy Andrew as our violin soloist for Vivaldi’s enchanting piece. An audience holiday sing-a-long is included!

“Myra’s vocals absolutely raise the music to a higher plain … Myra’s voice is something that really hits you square in the jaw. It’s sultry and silky smooth …” Higher Plain Music
