COMING RIGHT UP
Champlain Philharmonic Orchestra
Saturday, October 10, 7:30pm
In the spring of 2004, two VSO string players decided to enhance the thriving arts scene surrounding Addison County by forming a full orchestra. Violinist David Gusakov and cellist Dieuwke Davydov invited the community to audition, and then selected over 55 qualified string, wind and brass players to begin rehearsals at the Vergennes Opera House. This special "homecoming" event 22 years later will be conducted by the acclaimed Matt LaRocca and will showcase the incredible musicianship of the full orchestra.
