Audience Buzz
A Favorite Since 1976!
“ The Genesee Valley Orchestra and Chorus outdid themselves at a most outstanding holiday concert on Saturday evening, December 7th, at the Perinton Presbyterian Church. A variety of musical selections from Bach ‘s “Wachet Auf” cantata, Christmas spirituals, John Rutter’s delightful Brother Heinrich’s Christmas, and many more highlighted the musicianship, talent and hard work of this stunning community group! Congratulations GVOC for giving us yet another wonderful performance! (December 2013 – A Christmas Garland) ”

“ The concert at Eagle Vale was one for the record books. My husband and I loved it! The music was wonderfully chosen and beautifully performed. It was an evening to remember in every good way. We also attended the Christmas concert and had the same reaction: beautiful music, beautifully done; nothing from “Messiah” for a change, but all very appropriate to the season. No wonder there was a huge audience – people left there happy that they had been a part of it. Keep up the terrific work, please. (March 2014 – All Creatures Great and Small: A Musical Menagerie) ”

“ Wonderful GVOC concert tonight! I thought there was much more enthusiasm than ever before. Dynamics and enunciation were great. I especially liked having much less accompaniment which allowed voices to be heard. Program choices were good, too. And, what a nice big audience! Merry Christmas! (December 2012 – With Joyous Note) ”
