Vermont’s Dixie Six is a band well-loved by Island Arts’ audiences, and the group is well-known in the greater Burlington music scene. These six Vermont musicians focus on the sound and repertoire of Louis Armstrong’s All Stars of the 1950’s and 1960’s. The All Stars are famous for hits such as “Blueberry Hill,” “Mack the Knife,” and “Hello, Dolly!” which blew “the Beatles off the top of pop charts at the height of Beatlemania.” This lively jazz still thrills, appealing to all ages.
The Dixie Six players will be Charlie MacFayden, piano; Peter Williams, bass; Dave Whittle, drums; Phil Mead, trombone; Tony Pietricola, clarinet; and Bill Wicker on the cornet. Though retaining a traditional Dixie feel, band’s updated rhythm section gives a new energy to New Orleans classics and mid-century standards.
“Thanks to Island Arts for inviting us to play. We hope you enjoy the music as much as we enjoy playing it for you.”

Flores ArgentinasDate and Time: Thursday, August 25, 2022; 7-9 PM
Location: Island Arts Center, 1127 US Rt 2, North Hero, VT 05474
Tickets: $25
Soprano Sarah Cullins and classical guitarist Daniel Gaviria—whose 8 Cuerdas performance stunned a sell-out house last season—return in a new program.
Sharing the stage is the ensemble Duo Dolce—Vermont Symphony Orchestra principal cellist John Dunlop and violinist Laura Markowitz. The foursome will treat us to music by a variety of Argentine and other South American composers, performed with various combinations of their instruments. A unique concert!
“The pairing of these two particular instruments presents timbres not heard in tandem as frequently as, say, violin and piano. It’s a gorgeous sound — and wonderful piece of music, with each part doing its own thing while also sticking tightly together.” So comments WQXR’s James Bennett on the pairing of cello and guitar in the work by Gnattalli that appears on this program:
MORE… Cullins comments that the performers “will do some pieces together and in combinations, but mostly perform as Duos who approach this folk, jazz, or traditional music- inspired classical repertoire” in our own way. At times melancholy, passionate, tragic, playful, or romantic, this music is “sure to move you and get you moving”.
“Flores Argentinas”, taking its name from the beautiful song cycle by Carlos Guastavino, offers music by Argentinean composers, including some fiery tangos. “Works by Piazzolla and Guastavino are joined by works of neighboring-country composers such as Gerardo Rodriguez from Uruguay and Brazilian favorite, Heitor Villa-Lobos. Traditional Argentinean pieces may be new to Vermont audiences. We think they will LOVE them!”
The program will close with the exquisite Cantelina from Villa-Lobos’ Bachianas Brasieras #5 for soprano, and here performed with both cello and guitar. Not to be missed.

Gong baths are essentially a sound massage for the body. The gong has been used as a powerful tool in helping to still the mind and relax the body for thousands of years. Participating in a gong bath consists of lying on a yoga mat or blanket and simply letting the sound waves of the gong wash over you. Gong baths are known to reduce stress and aid in the flow of emotions. There will be gentle movement and breathing exercises in preparation for the relaxation.
Please bring your own yoga mat or blanket.
The class will be taught by Kim Muncil, a certified Kundalini Yoga instructor. She has taught yoga and provided Gong Baths for several years. She is a retired elementary teacher and spends her summers on Lake Champlain.
