A Message from the Maestro:
|
We have again completed very successful children's concerts with Superheroes Of The Symphony. Congratulations to the Preparatory Orchestra and THANK YOU to all of our volunteers!
We are now well into the music and it is time to get serious about the January concert. Begin by isolating those sections of the music you find most challenging. Record yourself and listen critically. Now that we know the notes, concentrate on intonation, rhythm and dynamics. MAKE MUSIC!!!! Go for the best.
Mr. Benson

Congratulations to all Preparatory Orchestra musicians and "thank you" to all volunteers!

Congratulations to all Preparatory Orchestra musicians on your wonderful performances to a packed house on Sunday! So many people have expressed their thanks for providing this opportunity to their children.
To our wonderful volunteers, thank you! Without your participation this event wouldn't have been as fun and educational for the children. From those who set up, demonstrated instruments, worked with arts & crafts, games, photos and provided lunch, to those who helped clean up, the commitment, expertise and heart you demonstrated was amazing. Bravo to everyone!
Kudos to Maestro Benson (Thor), Mrs. Sanchez (Spiderwoman), Mr. Tseitlin (Loki) and Katie Rackohn (Wonderwoman) for a job well done!
Pictures and video compliments of CVYO Volunteers Mr. Henson and Mr. Mukherjee. (Thank you!)

What is the VCOA?
The Ventura County Orchestras Alliance is a group of symphonic orchestra leaders including professional, semi-professional, community, university and educational orchestras, all within the Conejo Valley and surrounding areas.
The VCOA was started in 2017 with a meeting organized and hosted by CVYO, to bring together orchestra leaders, define the different organizations, learn about and support each other.
Since then, orchestra leaders have met annually and there is now a calendar listing performances by all of the participants. Just

Attention Parents: Safety First!
The safety of all CVYO musicians is a must! Please be sure to:
- Instruct your musician to remain in the courtyard if you are not present when rehearsal ends.
- Call your musician when you arrive in the parking lot or park and go get them in the courtyard.
- Do not block the driveway, pull into a parking spot.
- Alert any CVYO Staff or Board Member of unattended musicians and children outside of the courtyard.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
