Florona captures the expansive spirit of Burlington’s Social Band, a large vocal ensemble known for blending early music, global folk traditions, and contemporary choral arrangements into something deeply communal and distinctly Vermont. Drawing from European medieval repertoire, American shape-note, world folk songs, and original compositions, this album reflects the ensemble’s mission to revive music that stirs the soul and invites participation. Documented in regional archives such as Big Heavy World’s Vermont music history project, Florona stands as a beautifully recorded snapshot of Vermont’s community-driven choral movement—ideal for listeners who appreciate layered harmonies, cultural breadth, and locally rooted artistry.
