Bennington College Community Orchestra directed by Henry Brant presented a varied program in the Carriage Barn with 90 participants. The standout piece The Great Society by Louis Calabro used news headlines to mock modern life in a rich, biting orchestral and choral setting.

Vaughan Williams Fantasy on a Theme by Tallis offered expansive choral string sonorities and spatial acoustics, while Palestrina polyphony on balcony added historical contrast.
