Vermont Folklife’s youth trad ensemble, “Sugar in the Pan,” is delighted to share music honoring mentors and tradition bearers from a variety of regions, including New England, Québec, Maritime Canada, Appalachia, and Sweden at the BCA Summer Concert Series.  

Their program features lively tunes that will have folks dancing in their seats as well as songs that encourage listeners to join in!  These 8 fantastic musicians, aged 14 to 19, bring a multitude of instruments to the stage and hail from all over Vermont.  In addition to sharing joyful music and building skills through performance opportunities, Sugar in the Pan raises funds for the Young Tradition Touring Group and increases awareness for Young Tradition programming.  Past performances include the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington D.C., New World Festival in Vermont and the Rockport Opera House in Maine as well as various private events, schools, and retirement communities.  For more information, please visit vtfolklife.org

A seasonal celebration of Vermont’s incredible musicians, the Summer Concert Series has been serving up a side of local music to downtown Burlington at lunchtime for 14 years.
