VIVO Music Festival Season 12: VIVO Origins

VIVO Music Festival kicks off its 12th season with an engaging evening that blends live music with meaningful discussion. You'll experience a carefully curated program featuring Brandon Ridenour's fresh arrangements of classic American songs, followed by Bartók's Contrasts—a piece that celebrates the composer's love of jazz and popular music. Rather than a traditional intermission, the performers will step into conversation with the audience, creating a more intimate connection to the music before concluding with Amy Beach's romantic Piano Quintet. The festival offers flexible admission options to suit your family's needs. You can reserve seats in advance for guaranteed seating, or simply pay what you wish when you arrive at the door. This approach makes it easy to attend without worrying about ticket prices, so families can experience quality classical music and live dialogue in a welcoming environment.
