Come feel the love with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra as we embark on our 2025 Summer Festival Tour. This year’s dynamic program, Summer of Love, features works from across the world and a range of genres, including pieces from Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, John Williams’ Star Wars Theme, Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story, and pop hits such as “I Put A Spell On You” and “Nature Boy.” This summer the VSO welcomes mezzo Nikola Printz as the tour’s special guest vocalist.
An annual VSO tradition, the Summer Festival Tour celebrates music, community, and the summer season. This year’s tour will take place from July 1-6, 2025 in the following locations: Castleton, Grafton, East Burke, South Pomfret, Shelburne, and Stowe. All locations will include VSO’s Musical Petting Zoo where the audience can explore a variety of orchestral instruments, available before the performances.
