NEW APPOINTMENT AT BRANDON MUSIC
Brandon, VT -
Brandon Music is pleased to welcome its newest employee, Linda Banta, a “flatlander” in the truest sense of the word, having grown up and lived in Nebraska until 1992, when she and Jay moved to Vermont. Her professional career was in the medical field , working as a Medical Technologist for over 40 years, most recently at Porter Medical Center in Middlebury for about 16 of those years. But she has always had a great love of and interest in the arts, primarily on the performing end, but also “dabbles” in the visual as well. Linda has some acrylic paintings on slate that can be seen at the new Park Street Gallery in Brandon. Her involvement has taken the form of singing with the VSO Chorus, Maiden Vermont, Trillium (a hospice choir), doing folk music with Jay, and local theater productions, most recently “Kilroy Was Here” at the Brandon Town Hall. She and Jay have a son, Matthew and a daughter, Shelby.
Her primary responsibilities in her new position will be public relations, promotion, and serving as a liaison with the art community, as well as the day to day organization of the office. She, along with the other members of the team, are anticipating new challenges and growth in the appreciation of the arts in Brandon, as well as all of Vermont. Long range goals include expansion of the physical facilities of Brandon Music, working cooperatively with other arts' organizations, reaching out to area colleges to expand audience participation, and most importantly establishing contact with talented performers.
Linda's appointment is seen as an important step in the establishment of Brandon Music as the primary local music and performing arts facility over the next few years and the continued growth and success of its international classical music record labels. The company aims to make Brandon as vital in the performing arts as it already is in the visual arts.
