Levitt AMP St. Johnsbury Music Series at Dog Mountain
Sunday, August 23, 5:00 pm
This free concert is located at Dog Mountain and is open to everyone — including your dog! Be sure to pack your lawn chair or blanket, sunscreen, and some water — but leave the booze at home because no off-site alcohol is permitted. Bring a picnic, or grab a bite to eat from our local food vendors on-site, and visit St. Johnsbury Distillery at the beer garden for alcohol purchases — cash is recommended, as not all vendors accept credit cards. Parking will be available at the Fairbanks Scales parking lot, with a free shuttle to the top of the mountain provided by RCT. New this year: every Sunday at 4 pm, the RCT shuttle will make its first stop at the St. Johnsbury Welcome Center to bring folks from downtown up to the mountain! The shuttle will return to the Welcome Center at the end of the evening, at approximately 7:30 pm. Please submit any questions to info@catamountarts.org.
Location:
Dog Mountain
143 Parks Rd.
St. Johnsbury, VT
Admission: FREE!
Comprised of virtuosic musicians, composers, and educators — Lara Klaus, Daniela Serna and Mafer Bandola — LADAMA are sisters in song and spirit. Harnessing music from their respective countries of origin — Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela — the group utilizes traditional and non-traditional instruments from across the Americas to create a rich Latin Alternative music, which bends folkloric forms with a modern twist. Their music has been described by NPR as having “irresistible spirit and universal appeal.”
LADAMA met on the road in 2014 while touring Los Angeles, Arizona, and New Mexico as part of the prestigious OneBeat Program. Between individual performances, leading youth workshops and public music-making events, Lara, Daniela and Mafer uncovered a common dream of building communities through sound and empowering women and youth through music. LADAMA delivers an utterly unique experience as they flow from the electric to the acoustic, from Spanish to English and Portuguese, and from the high plains of Venezuela to the Colombian coast. Their art proves that borders are meaningless, transporting us to a future where the world communicates across continents and cultures through sound and story.
The Levitt AMP St. Johnsbury Music Series is supported in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, which partners with changemakers and nonprofits across the country to activate underused outdoor spaces through the power of free, live music—bringing people together, fostering belonging, and invigorating community life.
