VERMONT'S CLASSICAL MUSIC HAVEN LAUNCHES TEA ROOM, ART GALLERY, AND WEBSITE

Harmony English Tea Room, Vermont Art Gallery, and Website are Newest Developments at Brandon Music

Brandon, VT – Stephen Sutton, Chairman and CEO of the international Divine Art Recordings Group of England, announces the opening of the Harmony Tea Room at Brandon Music – Vermont’s Classical Music Haven. Brandon Music is the North American headquarters of Sutton’s British classical music record company, the Divine Art Recordings Group.

Located in Warren Kimble’s former historic red barn art gallery, Harmony English Tea Room is a chic English-style tearoom and music café. Harmony sells specialty British teas and coffees, new and vintage tea-ware and china, and will feature regular performances by new and visiting artists as well as special themed events such as “tea-dances.” The Harmony English Tea Room and extending outdoor property are available for special events and party bookings as well.

The Gallery at Brandon Music also just opened showcasing work by Vermont artists and continuing the tradition of art being a feature at the former gallery of Warren Kimble.

In addition, a website geared toward Vermont residents, visitors, and second home owners launched this week at www.brandonmusicvt.com.

“Vermont has been our second home for years now and we are so pleased to bring our music, performers, and artists to the artistic community of Brandon, Vermont,” exclaims Sutton. “We especially are excited about the authentic English-style tea services and themed events we will be hosting in this historic haven of Vermont’s culture.”

Brandon Music – Vermont’s Classical Music Haven is also home to the Divine Art CD Store and a developing vintage collector’s corner. The Divine Art CD Store showcases a wide collection of contemporary to rare classical music from the Divine Art, Diversions, Metier, and Athene record labels. The collector’s corner will offer the sale of vintage and rare historic records while featuring a growing assortment of vintage music related collectables.

The Divine Art Record Company, established by Stephen Sutton in England in 1993, is an internationally acclaimed classical music record company. Divine Art has published over 250 CDs of classical music from the 15th to 21st Centuries on its four major record labels, performed by over 150 artists from around the world.
