Scrag Mountain Music seeks to help audience members and performers move beyond experiencing classical music as an intellectual exercise, and rather approach music with open hearts and ears. During the concert, the performers will explore the music with the audience to help audience members find personal connections with the pieces.

Prior to the 7 p.m. Friday night concert at Green Mountain Girls Farm, there will be a soup and sides supper. The entirely local informal meal will be on offer at the farmstand from 5:30 to 6:30 for $10, children 12 and under $5. The pregnant goats, heritage breed pigs and hard-working hens will all be accepting visitors.
