Welcome to the 2023 season of VIVO Music Festival! It is hard to believe we are celebrating our 9th season. Time has passed, memories have been made, and the world has changed, yet through it all VIVO has thrived, grounded by our belief in the incredible community-building power of world-class chamber music.
This season, we present four concerts of stunning variety: the GRAMMY nominated percussion spectacular “Seven Pillars” by Andy Akiho and Sandbox Percussion, our iconic Beer & Beethoven held for the first time at Natalie’s Grandview, a musical evening at the Columbus Museum of Art featuring the U.S. premier of a work co-commissioned by VIVO and Ensemble Intercontemporain, and a concert at the Southern Theatre presented with Chamber Music Columbus.
Beyond the concert hall, VIVO is sponsoring an instrument petting zoo for foster families in partnership with the Loft Violin Shop and the Bair Foundation, an instrument instrument-building workshop at Transit Arts, and the third year of our Strings Workshop for local high school musicians. All of this is possible through our incredible partners, the passion of our fantastic community, and the unflagging support of you, our loyal audience. For that we say thank you and hope you enjoy another season of innovative, world-class chamber music!
