SUMMARY:Katie Beck in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Katie Beck presents an afternoon of music – classical\, crossover\, and more – taking inspiration from the Museum’s exhibition\, Vermont Vice on view now through November 1\, 2026. Katie will set the scene of Vermont as an idyllic rural paradise before exposing its dark side through songs about murder\, drunkenness and all-around bad behavior. The afternoon will be redeemed when it finishes off with a selection of Katie’s favorite tunes. The program includes everything from Rossini to Cole Porter to Sondheim – a little something for everyone. Katie will be accompanied by pianist Chris Rose. \nHailed by the Boston Globe as “balmy-voiced” and for her “uniformly excellent” performances\, mezzo-soprano Katherine Beck has performed with operas\, orchestras\, and symphonies throughout the country\, from Los Angeles to Florida and everywhere in between\, but she calls Bennington “home.” While best known for operatic roles such as Marquise Melibea in Il viaggio a Reims and Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia\, Katie’s repertoire also include jazz\, showtunes\, folk music and more. Kaite is a winner of the prestigious George London Foundation Award\, among others. She earned her Master of Music degree from the Thornton School of Music at the University of California\, in which she sang Béatrice in Béatrice and Bénédict and Sesto in La clemenza di Tito. Katie lives in Shaftsbury\, Vermont with her husband and son. See Katie’s full bio here. \nChris Rose is a musician and teaching artist from Northeastern Pennsylvania. An avid wanderer\, he has performed with orchestras in Italy\, Sweden\, South Korea\, Alaska\, and around the United States\, and aboard Cunard\, Crystal\, and Royal Caribbean ocean liners. Recent appearances include Vermont’s Marlboro Music Festival\, Colorado’s Jazz Aspen Snowmass Summer Jazz Workshop and New York’s Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival. He proudly served as a Teaching Artist for the non-profit Empire State Youth Orchestra\, plays trumpet in the Berkshire Symphony\, and and teaches Dalcroze Eurhythmics\, piano\, and brass at Bennington College. \nMusic at the Museum programs are presented at no charge\, thanks to our generous sponsors\,\nAlison Nowak and Robert Cane.

SUMMARY:Left to Their Own Devices
DESCRIPTION:Part performance\, part interactive sound experience\, “Left to Their Own Devices” features a series of interactive musical mechanisms that invite and respond to audience interaction. Wander the Museum at your own pace\, in your own path\, and engage with the devices and performers. \nThe Devices\n \nTintinnalogia is a mechanical carillon fanned out around the new courtyard. The 8-bell device is inspired by the British tradition of change ringing\, in which permutations of bells are rung out in a frenzy. Every 15 minutes a piece is performed like clockwork. \nExtant is an immersive installation about celestial navigation amidst rising tides; it uses the sextant the artist’s grandfather used to sail to Tahiti. The sextant\, a navigation tool\, is based on imprecise science\, relying on where you thought you once were to predict your current position. As the audience uses the device\, a sound collage gradually loses itself\, as it tries to locate the viewer’s place. \nHeterodyne is inspired by the inventor Leon Theremin’s dance platform called the Terpsitone\, and his 1936 visit to Bennington to demonstrate the device. Heterodyne translates movement into sound\, tracking one person’s motion and mapping it onto a projected doppelganger\, using technology akin to the theremin\, the contactless instrument named for its inventor. \nComb is a work inspired by the silent instruments in the Museum’s Church Gallery. As the audience wanders the room\, lasers and sonar devices create a collage based on what the devices might have sounded like back then\, based on the shape-note hymn Evening Shade. \nIn Hypnagogia electric muscle stimulants create involuntary movements in three dancers\, conveyed through wireless belts. These tics are generated by the sound itself and are part of an improvisation between the intentional and the unexpected. Hypnagogia is a transitional state between sleep and wakefulness\, in which people experience hallucinations and uncontrolled tics. \nIn Barrel Roll a tiny device constructed out of a music box and a yoga block perceives movement. Playing with the trope of a music box twirling a porcelain ballerina\, each participant turns the barrel and creates a kaleidoscopic collage out of each tune. \nNicholas Brooke creates music across disciplines\, from collages of recordings with live theater\, to home-built instrumentariums inspired by gamelan. Brooke’s works have been featured across the U.S. and Europe\, at Mass MoCA\, HERE\, Merkin Hall\, Baryshnikov Arts Center\, the MATA Series\, and the Spoleto Festival\, and have been performed by the Bang-on-a-Can All-Stars\, Talujon\, Speculum Musicae\, Orchestra 2001\, the Paul Dresher Ensemble\, the Nash Ensemble of London\, and Sekar Anu. He has received Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundation awards\, and multiple residencies including Djerassi\, MacDowell\, Bogliasco\, and Bellagio. Originally a clarinettist\, he is also an avid instrument builder\, and researcher of early musical automata. During a two-year fellowship to Central Java\, he studied gamelan and collaborated on musical projects with Javanese composers\, dancers\, and visual artists. He holds degrees in music composition and philosophy from Oberlin\, and a Ph.D from Princeton. He teaches at Bennington College. \nMusic at the Museum programs are presented at no charge\, thanks to our generous sponsors\,\nAlison Nowak and Robert Cane
