Share The The Vintage Parlor Orchestra is a versatile and talented Grand Rapids based ensemble taking the masterpieces of the last few centuries out of the concert hall and into the community. We believe that classical music is for everywhere, and we accomplish this by squeezing chamber and orchestral repertoire into the breweries, nightclubs, movie theaters, art galleries, parks, garages, decks, and living rooms of West Michigan.
VPO collaborates with local artists, while giving paid performance and solo opportunities to local musicians. Due to the limitations caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, each performance becomes an opportunity to activate an entire entertainment ecosystem. As a vehicle for exploration and experimentation, VPO is dedicated to rethinking the live classical music experience, cultivating musicians, expanding audiences, and redefining what it means to be an orchestra.
Description
The Vintage Parlor Orchestra heads to Park Theatre to perform in Holland for the very first time!
Sound Session will open the night with captivating works for saxophone quartet, followed by VPO with works for string orchestra and wind soloists. The concert will conclude with the soloists joining the orchestra for Haydn's Symphony No. 63 in C major. As always, this concert will include the usual VPO antics, and opportunities for the audience to participate during intermission.

Members include Matt Fox from Albany, NY, Jacob Nance from Lubbock, TX, Jeffrey Allardyce from Grand Rapids, MI, and Tyler Young from Aberdeen, North Carolina. Sound Session was recently named the First Place winner of the Music Teacher’s National Association Chamber Wind competition for 2022.
