Thank you for being part of our journey and for making music with us in 2024.
❄️ In January, we braved a snowstorm to present VESPERS with the extraordinary push/FOLD dance company.
🎻 Spring brought the thrill of performing Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with VSO.
🎼 Next was our Summer Sings series, bringing together singers of all ages to explore works by incredible new composers, sharing fresh perspectives and expanding our repertoire in exciting ways.
❄️We closed the year with our holiday tradition of Wintersong.
Through every note, every concert, and every memory, your support has been the heart of it all. From Summer Sings, to Wintersong, to collaborative masterworks with orchestras, everything we do is made possible through the generosity of donors like you!
