Grisey in Vermont

I've been getting press releases from Yellow Barn, a "center for chamber music performance and study" in Putney, Vermont. The latest describes a program consisting only of Gérard Grisey's Le noir de l'etoile, for six percussionists placed around the audience. I'd go if I could; if you're in the northeast, maybe you can:

Friday, May 25

The Greenwood School soccer field | 8:16 (at sunset)
Putney, VT

Pre-concert discussion at 7pm in the gymnasium

Post-concert reception with the artists
Free Admission
