The Golden Valley Orchestra (GVO) was established as a reading orchestra in the late 1970's at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Today the GVO is one of Minnesota's oldest community orchestras. Made up of amateur and semi-professional musicians, the GVO presents 4 to 6 concerts per year, including community outreach and non-public performances at care facilities.
Did you know your contribution not only helps the GVO bridge the gap between area youth orchestras and professional (full-time) orchestra, but also helps us fulfill our mission? We strive to provide community entertainment at a reasonable cost, deliver continuing musical education and offer area musicians an outlet to perform music as an avocation. DONATE NOW
