For Beginner, Aging, Active, and Athletic
Yin Yoga is a contemplative practice that targets the connective tissues of the body such as tendons, ligaments, and the deep fascia network. This practice consists of going into a pose, finding stillness, and then connecting to the breath while holding the pose for 3-4 minutes. Most poses are seated poses similar to stretching poses. This is a great practice for people with an active mind as well as an active body. If you are new to yoga this is a wonderful place to start.
A limited number of mats will be available for use.

A concert of unaccompanied choral music performed by the outstanding Montpelier-based chamber chorus Counterpoint, directed by Nathaniel Lew.
As the success of HBO’s “The Gilded Age” shows, the final decades of the 19th century in America continue to fascinate the public. The age of the robber barons was also the peak of the middle-class parlor piano and vaudeville, and saw a flowering of tragic ballads, naive love lyrics, theater songs, and pictures of city life, as well as the first stirrings of Tin Pan Alley.
The concert is a tour of this repertory, in sparking a cappella arrangements that show off what critics have praised as the Counterpoint ensemble’s “clarity, skill” and “sophisticated musical expressiveness.”
The program ranges from the evergreen songs of Stephen Foster (“Beautiful Dreamer”) to Bowery waltzes (“The Sidewalks of New York”), and from sentimental classics like “Home Sweet Home” to comic numbers such as “You’ll Have to Put a Nightie on Aphrodite.”
Program_Counterpoint_11July 2025_v1.1
Counterpoint was founded in 2000 by legendary Vermont choral conductor and arranger Robert De Cormier. The ensemble performs throughout Vermont and surrounding regions, and has released seven CDs with Albany Records and five more independently.

The Ken Clark Organ Trio has been performing around New England, the eastern U.S., and internationally for 15 years. This is their first appearance at the Island Arts Summer Festival. “Organist Ken Clark, guitarist Mike Mele, and drummer Steve Chaggaris lean on the beat, (high stepping funk, shuffle boogaloo back beat ballad), build dynamic climaxes sprinkle in jazz solos and deliver the goods. Clark controls the B3 like a master: hip bass lines, sizzling chordal washes, feel-good riffs, funky blues lines and syncopated accents figure in the mix. The groove, the sonic power of the organ and a soulful message are a forceful combination for reaching the people, all the way from the church to the dance floor. Can’t beat the feeling.” ~ Owen Cordle, Jazz Times
“You might be skeptical about listening to a CD without a bass player, but from the opening bars of the first track, school is in session! Organist Ken Clark has a punchy, thick bass tone that rivals Rocco’s, and he grooves like a funky S.O.B. His right hand is pretty happening, too. A must hear for fans of jazzy, funky groove music.” ~ Bass Player Magazine

Louisa May Alcott’s beloved story, “Little Women,” has never been more relevant. With its themes of sisterhood, challenging traditional gender roles, and celebrating the powerful contributions of women throughout American history, this story continues to resonate across generations.
Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America. Little Women embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears, and a lifting of the spirit. The powerful score soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache, and hope – the sounds of a young America finding its voice.
With a cast of students and Vermont professionals Full Circle Theater Collaborative and Fearn Enterprise are proud to bring this musical adaptation of an American classic to the stage.
