Young Tradition Weekend is a presentation of Young Tradition Vermont and Burlington Parks and Recreation with support from the Country Dance and Song Society, the Quebec Government Office in Boston, and others, and partnerships with Champlain Elementary School, the Champlain Valley Folk Festival, the Child Life Department at Fletcher Allen Health Care, Festival Memoire et Racines, Higher Ground, Lake Champlain Access TV, the Northeast Fiddlers Association, the Quechee Balloon Festival, Queen City Contras, Summit School, and others.
Several considerations motivated the establishment of Young Tradition
Vermont and Young Tradition Weekend. Much of the most influential traditional and folk music ever recorded was made by artists then in the their teens and twenties including Robert Johnson, the Skillet Lickers, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Michael Coleman, Amede Ardoin, Denis McGee, the Carter Family, Pete Seeger, Muddy Waters, and Woody Guthrie. The mission of the event is to ensure there are opportunities for young players, singers and dancers to be supported, have opportunities to learn and perform with minimal interference, and develop and experiment as part of a living tradition passed down from previous generations. The performers are young in age, but ‘old souls’, the latest in a long line of tradition bearers at the intersection of the past and the future. The showcase is not about featuring the ‘stars of tomorrow’, although that may well be the case….. past performers have included Anais Mitchell, Alash, Avi and Celia, Cynthia MacLeod, Austin Sirch, Village Harmony, Anthony Santoro, Geordie Lynd, Katie Trautz and Julia Wayne, David Boulanger, Nicholas Pellerin, Jean-Francoise Branchaud, Anna Roberts-Gevalt, Duncan Yandell, Zack Warshaw, Rebecca Lay, Tessa and Ella Bangs, Owen and Elly Marshall, and many others…… it is more about ensuring the health and vitality of the next link in the chain.
