The organization, started in 2014, was brougth to life to present live classical music to the residents of the Oneota Valley, promote music education, and provide the opportunity for amateur and professional musicians to continue the lifelong study and performance of classical music. A decade in, the organization has covered a lot of ground, a lot of music, and is playing bright into the future.

Each season of performances are unique, and often include special guests as part of the repertoire. Check out this season's schedule and more. Several performances are even available on the OVCO's YouTube Channel - which you can watch here.
