Tuesday, May 19, 4:30-5:30 p.m. at Littleton Senior Center

The North Country Chamber Players warmly invite the public to a special pop-up: an Open Rehearsal for their Community Program, Bremen Town Musicians: Musical Storytelling!

This open rehearsal occurs on Tuesday, May 19, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. at the Littleton Senior Center, 77 Riverglen Lane. Free and open to everyone, it provides a rare chance to see the creative process unfold as a beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tale is brought alive through music, rhythm, and spirited spoken word.

Experience the versatile North Country Chamber Players gearing up for a delightful adventure with composer John Deak's inventive take on The Bremen Town Musicians. Here, five wind instrumentalists not only animate the tale with their instruments but also deliver the narrative, blending spoken lines seamlessly into the musical rhythm and momentum.

Celebrated as a leading musical group in New England, the Chamber Players boast a rich history of musical storytelling. Previous hits include Peter and the Wolf, Carnival of the Animals, The Nightingale, and The Soldier’s Tale, developed alongside partners like Ben & Jerry’s, the Starbird Puppet Theater, the Weathervane Theatre, and Bread and Puppet Theater.

The group is crafting this fresh program for complimentary summer community shows: Wednesday, July 22, at 11 a.m. at The Colonial Theatre in Bethlehem, and Thursday, July 23, at 11 a.m. at Rialto Theatre in Lancaster.
