About Us
Something For Everyone!
Musica Viva Kentlands seeks to provide an enriching and affordable cultural arts experience through its orchestral music performances. We envision a community that is inspired and connected through music.
As we enter our fifth year of performances, we remain committed to the same values that guided the establishment of our program.
- Performance Quality. Musica Viva employs only professional musicians which ensures our performances of the highest quality and makes an important, much-needed investment in the local arts community.
- Affordability. We are the only organization in our geographic area to employ professional musicians without charging an admission fee, reflecting our commitment to bring music to a wide range of audiences by removing economic barriers to attendance.
- Accessibility. We perform in informal, neighborhood settings that make our events welcoming to audiences across levels of familiarity with classical music.
- Diversity and Inclusion. We are committed to diversity in our hiring decisions and artistic choices, ensuring that our performances include selections that extend beyond the traditional, European-centered musical tradition.
- Volunteerism. Musica Viva Kentlands is a fully volunteer-led, volunteer-enabled organization. This allows us to dedicate 100% of the funds we raise to staging our concerts and maximize the potential for community engagement.
