VT Symphony Jukebox Quartet: Porch Songs
VT Symphony Jukebox Quartet: Porch Songs
VT Symphony's Jukebox quartet honors the legacy of American folk traditions and the communal spirit that sustains them. Featuring Pulitzer Prize-winner Jennifer Higdon’s exploration of her Southern roots, the Appalachian-infused stylings of fiddler and composer Mark O’Connor, brand new arrangements by bluegrass legend Matt Flinner, and more - this program celebrates the magical place where classical and folk traditions meet. Featuring Brooke Quiggins-Saulnier and Joana Genova, violin; Stefanie Taylor, viola; and John Dunlop, cello; hosted and curated by Matt LaRocca. The tour includes an interactive audio and visual display of Vermont folk heritage, steeped in song selections from the Helen Hartness Flanders Ballad Collection at Middlebury College and accompanying displays from the Henry Sheldon Museum and Vermont Historical Society.
