VC LIVE | VC Orpheus Festival - Live From New York City [COVID-19]

We're coming to you live from the 2 day all-day VC Orpheus Festival - in New York City

We're coming to you live from the 2 day all-day VC Orpheus Festival.

Sponsored by Rare Violins of New York, the two day online extravaganza is set to feature Orpheus musicians in living room concerts, fun cooking shows and informative Q&As – plus full broadcast concert performances from the Orpheus archives.

The VC Orpheus Festival has a two-day fundraising goal of $25,000 – with all donations made going directly to support the Orpheus Emergency Fund to bolster the orchestra’s commitment to continue paying musicians and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
