Join us in welcoming our new Music Director, Martin Majkut

Welcome to our 2010/2011 season!

While this may not be your first season with the RVSO, I am proud to say it is mine. I am delighted to be here as your guide for this year’s musical explorations. The orchestra and I will be getting to know each other while integrating our musical personalities. At times we will watch each other closely; other times we will rely on our instincts. As we begin this new chapter in the life of the Symphony, we invite you, our audience, to engage in a journey.

Share our excitement

A season of exciting new discoveries and unexpected surprises awaits you. Nothing rivals the thrill of a live symphonic performance. This is never truer than when a new partnership is created. The orchestra and I want you to share in this exciting period. We want you to simultaneously experience the range of emotions that we will experience on stage.

Familiar masterpieces plus surprises

We are thrilled to offer you a season straight from the treasury of classical music. Four world-class soloists, one world premiere and the best of local talent will be featured. Add to that a generous amount of symphonic masterpieces and a few works that you probably have never heard that may well become your new favorites. And you can expect even more surprises from the RVSO as the season unfolds! Once the season ends, we would like you to reflect fondly on the incredible journey we took together and anticipate next season’s voyage.
