The Vero Beach Chamber Orchestra will kick off its 15th season with an energetic and delightful program to celebrate a new year.
“The Orchestra is ready to take on the new year with programs to suit most classical appetites”, explained VBCO President, Dwight Holmes. “Our director, Page Howell, has selected a number of audience favorites for each of our two concerts, the first on Sunday, March 12, 2023, and the second on Sunday April 23, 2023.” Both concerts will begin at 2:00PM at the Vero Beach High School Performing Arts Center.
The first program will feature Mozart’s Overture to Don Giovanni; Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll; and Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 “Surprise”.
The second program will feature Dr. Sara Luciani (nee Diehl) as soloist in Cimarosa’s Concerto for Oboe and Strings; Rossini’s Overture to the Barber of Seville; and Schubert’s Symphony No. 1.
The Vero Beach Chamber Orchestra is a long-standing and valued artistic asset of the Indian River County cultural community. True to its founding mission over 15 years ago, the orchestra is comprised of professional and non-professional musicians as well as higher level student musicians, working together with the Vero Beach High School to encourage and support music education in the school district.
“The VBCO is very unique in its operations”, explained Holmes. “Our performances are free and open to the public, as we encourage new audiences to try classical orchestral concerts on us! After our performances, we donate our music to the high school orchestral library for the benefit of future orchestral students. We are always on the lookout for new players, particularly violin and viola players in our community who might like to join our ranks.”
