Valerie Coleman's work honors those who risked their own health to care for us during the pandemic. One of Mozart's last and most extraordinary works, played by the incomparable Michael Rusinek, is contrasted with the early and exuberant First Symphony of Sibelius.
About Greenwich Village Orchestra
The Greenwich Village Orchestra is committed to making music at the highest possible level and enriching the lives of both players and audience through emotionally charged, exhilarating performances.

The GVO regularly performs with internationally acclaimed soloists. In recent years, the orchestra has performed alongside soloists such as violinists Andrés Cárdenes, Itamar Zorman, and Hye-Jin Kim; cellists Edward Arron, Raman Ramakrishnan, David Heiss, and Brook Speltz; soprano Christine Goerke; mezzo-sopranos Jennifer Johnson Cano and Naomi O’Connell; baritone Jesse Blumberg; trumpet soloist Brandon Ridenour; and more.
