SINCE 1982, Virginia’s Charlottesville High School Orchestra program has grown from eight members to one of the largest in the commonwealth, and has earned a national reputation for excellence. Consisting of String Ensemble and Concert Orchestra, we have garnered top prizes in music festivals in the United States—from New York to Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Williamsburg, Nashville, Orlando, Virginia Beach, and Myrtle Beach—and abroad in the Caribbean; London, England; Vienna, Austria; Florence, Italy; Paris, France, and Dublin, Ireland.

​

We are pleased to announce that the Charlottesville High School String Ensemble has once again been invited to perform in the prestigious Lisbon International Youth Music Festival. This festival features more than 30 concerts in the best halls and open-air venues in Portugal and celebrates youth orchestras, choirs, symphonic bands and ensembles from all over the world. Young musicians will gather to build friendships and share uplifting performances with 15,000+ music lovers.

​

An invitation of this magnitude is an honor not to be missed. We hope that you will join us by making a contribution to ensure that Charlottesville’s talented youth are able to fulfill their destiny!
