Join marimba soloist, Jane Boxall, and the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra at the Vermont College of Fine Arts on Saturday, November 17th at 7 pm for a performance entitled, "¡ VIVA LA MARIMBA !" Boxall will perform the Concerto para Marimba y Orchestra No. 1, Op. 20 (1957) by Guatemalan composer Jorge Sarmientos. MCO Artistic Director, Anne Decker, leads the orchestra in other contemporary music by Latin and South American composers, including Carlos Chavez’s Discovery (Mexico, 1969), Alberto Ginastera's Estancia op. 8 - Dances from Estancia op. 8a (Argentina, 1941), and Diana Syrse's Colección de Realidades (Mexico, 2012). Finishing off the concert is Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, D. 759, B minor (Unfinished).
““killer technique and inspired musicality””
Born in England and raised in Scotland, Jane completed her BA and MA in Music at the University of York (UK), and her Doctorate in Percussion Performance at the University of Illinois. Drum Magazine has called out Jane’s “killer technique and inspired musicality,” while Virago Magazine notes, “she is pure fire!”
Jane served as a Project Manager for the MCO during it’s 2017-2018 season! She ran the behind-the-scenes of the orchestra’s marketing and stage production. The orchestra looks forward to playing with Jane!
