Music in the Barn is the brainchild of local musicians Liam John and Sofia Hirsch who had a dream to take music out of the concert hall and into the community. The inspiration for hosting concerts in barns came to Liam in 2020 when he moved to a farm in Jericho and began playing cello with friends in a hayloft (featured on the homepage). Sofia, a professional violinist and regular contributor to the series, brings years of experience organizing and performing with local ensembles. Together, Liam and Sofia hope to present concerts that are approachable, affordable, and memorable. Today, with fiscal sponsorship provided by the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps and financial support from friends and neighbors, Music in the Barn is rapidly establishing itself among Vermont's legendary summer music offerings.
