This season’s concerts

2011—2012 is our 25th Anniversary Season, and our 10th under the baton of maestro Yahr! Feeling that this entitles us to a little nostalgia, we’re revisiting some pieces from Barbara’s first season with the orchestra. She says, “The orchestra has grown so much during this decade and I think it will be fun for both old and new members to play this repertoire together.” We think you’ll enjoy it too! Of course, we’ll still be offering everything you’ve come to expect from the Greenwich Village Orchestra: total commitment to performance, world class soloists, low ticket prices, and continued commitment to our local, downtown community. Come join us for an afternoon of exciting music making in the comfortable atmosphere and thrilling acoustics of Washington Irving Auditorium.

All GVO concerts are general admission for a suggested donation of $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and children. Tickets may be purchased online using the buy buttons below (please remember to bring a print out of your receipt to the concert) or at the door on the day of the concert.
