Special Events
Musicales
Autumn Musicale - Sunday, October 4, 2009
Winter Musicale - Sunday, January 17, 2010
The VCO continues a delightful, centuries-old tradition of music in the home by presenting Musicales in lovely private residences. These Sunday afternoon events provide a welcome and refreshing respite from the week's activities. They include a miniconcert by a small ensemble of musicians drawn from the orchestra, who speak informally about the selections they are performing; light refreshments; and conversation. The Musicales, which are by invitation, also serve as fundraisers.
Please contact us for an invitation.
