VSO Jukebox: Porch Songs – Americana Roots
Friday, April 17, 2026 - 7:00 PM EST
As spring arrives, we bring you a special, intimate Jukebox quartet program that invites listeners onto the proverbial porch—where music flows freely, stories are shared, and a sense of place is felt in every note. Porch Songs honors the legacy of American folk traditions and the communal spirit that sustains them.


Experience Pulitzer Prize-winner Jennifer Higdon’s exploration of her Southern roots in Southern Harmony, Appalachian-infused stylings of fiddler and composer Mark O’Connor, brand new arrangements of by bluegrass legend Matt Flinner, music from Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate, and more. This program celebrates the magical place where classical and folk traditions meet.

Brooke Quiggins-Saulnier and Joana Genova, violin; Stefanie Taylor, viola; John Dunlop, cello; Matt LaRocca, curator and host.
