Courtesy of Northern Daughters Milking Time at Mose Farm by Hannah Sessions I ve always been drawn to barns. Their practical nature. The smells, the nuances, reveals artist Hannah Sessions in a description of her current exhibition Rooted. Sessions work as an artist and a farmer come together in her paintings of agricultural structures and landscapes. Hay in a field, or a full, busy barn represents security . it roots us in the now and in this place, she writes. Rooted is on view at Vergennes gallery Northern Daughters through April 30. See it in person by appointment or peruse the works online.
1. Holiday Music In a typical year, the
Seven Days calendar section would be peppered with listings for local choirs leading participatory performances of George Frideric Handel s
Messiah. It s no surprise that that s not the case this year. The Choir of College Street Congregational Church in Burlington takes the tradition to an online platform, offering an on-demand concert video through Sunday, December 27. Montréal s L Harmonie des saisons, a baroque orchestra that performs on period instruments, joins the the choir and soloists for this moving rendition of the Christmas portion of the German composer s 18th-century oratorio.
