Daniel Bernard Roumain Inaugural Community Artist-in-Residence
The Flynn, the University of Vermont Lane Series, and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra introduce a season-long collaboration with violinist/composer Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR). Over the course of ten months, DBR visits Vermont for five week-long residencies designed to connect our community, celebrate both our individuality and commonality, and present a view of a world made richer through diversity. DBR was chosen as the first Community Artist-in- Residence for the breadth of his genre-bending work and, as the son of a Haitian immigrant, his ability to facilitate cultural exchange in our community.
DBR’s visit focuses on the overarching theme of “immigration as a positive force,” offering a broad itinerary of community engagement. In addition to a multimedia durational performance on the steps of City Hall, a deconstructed parade, and a jam session with local musicians, DBR performances at the Flynn include:
