The Vermont Composers Project
November 2005
Featuring 23 commissioned pieces written by Vermont composers. VPR and Vermont Life contributor Tom Slayton called it “…a complete delight: …glorious, witty choral works that are often complex, sometimes quirky, yet always accessible and fun.”

Florona
2003
Our very first CD! Seven Days reviewer Robert Resnik wrote, “[Florona] includes American shape-note singing, village music from Bulgaria and Sweden, and art music from 16th-century England and Spain. The 21 tracks hint at the amazing depth of the Social Band’s repertoire and the care that director Amity Baker has put into arranging and developing their sound….”

“What a joy to hear the blending of sounds shared by the Social Band. Their combination of wit and joy with a wonderful love of music always uplifts me.”
