Musician's and Senior's Portraits

This year our volunteer board member, Mr. Syto, will be here to photograph our CVYO musicians on February 20 & March 5 from 5-8pm.

This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain high-quality digital portrait files of your musician(s) and their instrument. Digital images will be provided for $20 and can be used any way you like. (retouching is not available)

We request that all Seniors be photographed for our June concert program at no cost to you. All other CVYO musicians and families are welcome to have their portraits taken.

Portraits will be taken on a "first-come" basis and should be taken outside of your normal rehearsal time. Be sure to bring your concert dress for the portrait. Signups will be available at rehearsals on February 6 & 13.

Digital images will be delivered by early April.
CVYO Virtuosi will perform on Sunday, February 9th at the upcoming Dialogues concert!

CVYO Virtuosi members join guest artists in performing the rare and engaging Glazunov String Quintet, then present Mahler’s breathtaking “Adagietto” from his 5 th Symphony. Chorus Caritas, a collaborative project of James Drollinger and Dominic MacAller comprised of select singers from St. Charles in North Hollywood and Padre Serra in Camarillo, presents Haydn’s powerful “Te Deum,” and the world premier of the Hawes “Beatitudes” arranged for choir and orchestra.
