We are sorry to announce that the VCO – W&M Side by Side concert scheduled for March 22, 2020 has been cancelled. All classes and all student activities at W&M have been cancelled through April 3. There are no plans to reschedule this concert because of the short time to the end of the school year. All ticket purchase transactions will be reversed.

Thank you for all of the interest that this concert generated. We intend to do another side by side concert with the W&M Symphony in the future.

It is not necessary to have a PayPal account or to sign up for PayPal in order to purchase tickets with a credit card on PayPal. Due to costs, advance-purchase tickets are not mailed out. Tickets purchased in advance will be held for pick-up at the concert.

Great Performances

Maestro Grandis looks forward to this “side by side” opportunity for the WiIliam and Mary musicians--undergraduates, graduate and community members--to share a stand, rehearse and perform with the VCO’s experienced professional players.

Now entering its 85th season, the William & Mary Symphony Orchestra’s mission is to grow through performances of great orchestral literature and to contribute to the artistic community of the College and beyond.

The March concert will provide an additional opportunity for two winners of the William and Mary student concerto competition to appear as soloists with the combined orchestras.
