October 10, 2009 - Carolyn was approached a few months ago by composer Derrik Jordan to share the Wabenaki story "Odzihozo And The Lake" at a number of Vermont Symphony Orchestra dates of the "Made In Vermont" tour. The telling of this story was an introduction to the piece of music created by Derrik Jordan and commissioned by the VSO. At three dates around Vermont Carolyn performed while attired in Abenaki women's traditional garb.Both Carolyn and Rick will be performing with the Symphony December 3rd, 2009 on the stage of the Flynn Theatre in Burlington, Vermont.
