Through song, and in conversation with clawhammer banjo player and Folk Alley host, Brad Kolodner, McCalla shares an extraordinary evening of music and insight into her work.

WHEN: Thursday, April 22 at 7:30pm ET (Available on demand through May 6)
WHERE: Online
TICKETS: $15
TO ORDER: symphonyspace.org or (212) 864-5400

Jake Blount

Award-winning banjoist, fiddler, and singer Jake Blount, a 2020 recipient of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize, specializes in the music of Black and indigenous communities in the southeastern United States, the regional style of Ithaca, New York, and highlights the experiences of queer people, and people of color in his work.

Through song, and in conversation with folklorist, and clawhammer banjo player Brad Kolodner, Blount shares his unique style, and gives an unprecedented testament to the voices-paradoxically obscured yet profoundly ingrained-in the Appalachian music tradition.

WHEN: Thursday, May 6 at 7:30pm ET (Available on demand through May 20)
WHERE: Online
TICKETS: $15
TO ORDER: symphonyspace.org or (212) 864-5400
