Internationally renowned singer and concert artist, Maxine Linehan, will be a special guest at the free “concert for a cooler climate “ at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester on Sunday May 28 at 2 p.m. The concert is part of the Play Every Town series devised by UVM Professor David Feurzeig, whose goal is to perform at all 252 Vermont towns between 2022 and 2026, to raise awareness about climate change. “I hope this tour will amplify the actions I’m taking in response to the climate crisis”, said David. “The sense of community and local place is threatened here as everywhere.”

Professor Feurzeig will perform a free concert of piano rags and classical riches on the Steinway grand piano at the Arkell Pavilion, SVAC. He will also accompany Maxine Linehan, as well as a student vocal ensemble from local schools, including Flood Brook, Dorset, Red Fox, Maple Street, and MEMS. Admission is free, but donations at the door (cash or check) are welcome and will benefit the environmental group Earth Matters Manchester, who are organizing the concert.
