I am thrilled to welcome you to GVOC’s 43rd season, which is a celebration of connection. GVOC’s 43rd season takes on a yearlong collaboration with the Eastman Community Music School’s Children’s Choir and Youth Chamber Singers. Together, we will celebrate connection through the music of Mothers, Families, and Children. I welcome you to join us as we continue the tradition of diverse programming which has something to offer everyone.

It is through season subscriptions and our annual campaign that we are able to offer the unique programming you have come to expect over the years. In addition to being able to produce 3 major concerts a year, your support also helps our growing community outreach efforts. Over the years, we have been able to grow our outreach efforts by 400%. This means that we are able to offer more free small concerts in venues like public libraries throughout the Greater Rochester region as well as nursing homes and assisted living facilities. By doing this, we have the opportunity to provide beautiful music to more people in our region who may not have the means otherwise to attend our concerts.

As a nearly 100% volunteer organization, your contribution to our annual campaign and purchase of season subscriptions go directly back into the community through these outreach efforts. On behalf of GVOC, I want to thank you for helping us continue our mission of bringing affordable, quality music to our local community.
