History of the Napa Valley Chamber Orchestra
Love of playing and sharing classical music is the binding force among many musicians in the Napa Valley who were left without a home when the Napa Symphony dissolved several years ago. Lora Levin and Lois Decius, both previous members of the Symphony, decided to take matters into their own hands and the Napa Valley Chamber Orchestra was born. The goal was to make the music they loved accessible to a wide audience and keep it alive for new generations. To that end, NVCO concerts are available for free four times a year, and the musicians volunteer their time to share their love of music. Players in the Chamber Orchestra range from classically trained professional musicians to highly accomplished local amateurs.
