VPO MEDIA

Founders' Open Mic Night
Tuesday, April 30, 2019

A night of celebrating local composers, VPO will begin the program with a Prelude & Fugue by fellow VPO musician Rick Maycroft Fletcher. The fabulous Audra Erb will rejoin us behind the piano for Ernest Bloch's Concerto Gross No. 1. After intermission we are excited to welcome back long time collaborator, Andrew Bergeron, as the orchestra performs the premiere of his Symphony No. 1.
​
Grab a beer and experience classical music like never before! The night will feature a relaxed atmosphere, clapping between all movements, a 30 member chamber orchestra, and some seriously tasty Creston brews! We will also be engaging our audience in a game of Random Instrument Challenge! Instruments are courtesy of our sponsor, Meyer Music.
