The Vintage Parlor Orchestra returns to Creston Brewery for two nights of classical music and brews! Since it's inception in October 2018, VPO has produced 20 programs around the West Michigan area by getting orchestral music out of the concert halls and into the community.A night of celebrating local composers, VPO will begin the program with a Prelude & Fugue by fellow VPO musician Rick Maycroft Fletcher. The fabulous Audra Erb will rejoin us behind the piano for Ernest Bloch's Concerto Gross No. 1. After intermission we are excited to welcome back long time collaborator, Andrew Bergeron, as the orchestra performs the premiere of his Symphony No. 1.
Grab a beer and experience classical music like never before! The night will feature a relaxed atmosphere, clapping between all movements, a 35 member chamber orchestra, and some seriously tasty Creston brews! We will also be engaging our audience in a game of Random Instrument Challenge! Instruments are courtesy of our sponsor, Meyer Music.
Doors open at 7:00pm | Music begins at 7:30pm
We highly recommend Creston Brewery's fantastic menu before the show in the main taproom! Arrive by 5:30 to give yourself enough time to order and eat. Food will not be served in the Golden Age during the concert.
