It’s “Juno in June!” Sunday, June 2, as the Brattleboro Music Center’s Juno Orchestra takes the stage with a program perfect for the coming of summer. The concert is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. at Persons Auditorium in Marlboro.

The program includes J. Mark Scearce’s Endymion’s Sleep, commissioned in 1998 by the Nashville Chamber Orchestra; Haydn’s Symphony 96 in D Major, The Miracle, first performed in London in 1791; and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 in C Major, which debuted in Vienna in 1801.

Endymion’s Sleep, an elegy of love and loss, is an impressionistic account of Selene, goddess of the Moon, and her fascination with the mortal, Endymion. As Juno Orchestra Director Zon Eastes notes, “We performed Endymion’s Sleep at our inaugural concert in 2017, and it’s worth hearing this elegy again today, as so many near and far are dealing with loss — perhaps of a dear beloved, of natural beauty, of a homeland.”

Tickets for the June concert are $20 for advance general admission, $25 at the door, $10 for youth admission and free for those 12 and under.

Tickets are available on the Brattleboro Music Center website – bmcvt.org – or by calling 802-257-4523 or emailing info@bmcvt.org.
