    Support Us!

    Now in our fifth season, NVCO is mainly funded by donors who recognize that Napa county deserves to have its own orchestra.  We pay for conductors, professional section leaders, soloists, and venues.  We rent music, procure new music, print educational programs and pay fees that all non-profit organizations incur. 

    Your donations make it possible to not charge admission to our concerts.  Our goal is to broaden the audience for classical music.

    Please join us in our mission to sustain this excellent community orchestra.
