GUILFORD-Two local musical groups will team up Sunday, Dec. 8, for a lively concert that organizers say promises "camaraderie, thoughtfulness, and laughter."
The Daybreak Trio, a "nimble and tight-knit threesome that's fluent in fiddle-driven dance music," will kick off this 7 p.m. event at the Guilford Community Church.
Featuring Owen Morrison on guitar, Naomi Morse on fiddle and vocals, and Anna Patton on clarinet and vocals, the trio infuses their core repertoire of traditional New England music as well as string-band swing, classical music, and vocal harmonies.
The Soubrettes, a singing ensemble led by director-arranger Anna Patton under the umbrella of the Vermont Jazz Center, will join the trio for the concert's second half.
Their set includes intricate arrangements of songs by Miss Tess, Anna Patton, Ben Patton, and Madeleine Peyroux's recent and timely composition "Let's Walk." The Soubrettes' in-house fiddler, Sarah Hadley-Yakir, and percussionist, Julian Gerstin, will also be featured.
Doors open at the Guilford Community Church at 6:30 p.m., with a suggested donation of $15 to $25 for admission. Event promoters suggest bringing friends and carpooling, if possible.
