Description: | See the Green Mountain Chorus sing at Farmer's Night! Wednesday Jan 18 at 7:30 PMFARMERS NIGHT CONCERT SERIESThe Farmers Night Concert Series is a longstanding State House tradition. Over a century ago, lawmakers would travel to Montpelier for the legislative session, booking rooms in hotels and boarding houses. On Wednesday nights, the Farmers Club—an informal group of farmer-legislators—would gather in the well of Representatives Hall to entertain themselves, often with sing-alongs or casual minstrel shows. Today, performing artists from around the state, in genres ranging from classical music to bluegrass, barbershop, poetry, dance and theater, perform at 7:30 PM in the well of the House Chamber every Wednesday night during most of the legislative season, from late January through mid-April. All performances are free of charge! |
