VERMONT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA JUKEBOX QUARTET

Programs by the Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s Jukebox Quartet allow four outstanding members of the Orchestra a chance to strut their stuff with an eclectic mix of contemporary and classical repertoire presented in an informal format.

For our March 12, 2022 concert, we’re shaking things up and swapping two string players with two percussionists for a new, whirlwind take on Jukebox. Violinist Brooke Quiggins and cellist John Dunlop are joined by percussionists D. Thomas Toner and Nicola Cannizzaro for a singular musical experience, curated by VSO Artistic Advisor and Project Conductor Matt LaRocca. 

Our Jukebox musicians dive into works by traditional and cutting-edge composers and are joined in this concert by a youth string quartet from St. Johnsbury Academy: Hale Boyden, Aurora Gilbert, Aniella Thompson, Maaike Dam (violin) and Greer Kennedy, Mary Fowler (viola).

Tickets can be purchased here.

AROUND CAMPUS
Evan Aronson ’05 joined Mr. Shea’s Film II class last week from Los Angeles, California. Evan is a writer/producer with marketing partnerships and promotions for Marvel Studios. Evan discussed the path he took to get where he is today, showed and explained some of the projects he has worked on, and answered many questions from the students. Mr. Shea commented, “It was not only an incredible opportunity to speak with an industry professional but to also develop a connection with an SJA alumn. Evan's excitement for Film radiated throughout the classroom as students quickly became inspired with each bit of advice he had to offer. Additionally, the conversation helped to create a bridge from what we explore in the classroom to the real world. I can not thank Evan enough for the powerful impact he made on us all here at SJA."
