Quartet 515 performed for the Valley Chamber Orchestra! 🎶

Chamber music is an important part of the VHS orchestra curriculum, and all Chamber Orchestra students are currently preparing duets, trios, or quartets. These small groups got the chance to ask questions, perform, and receive professional feedback.

Thank you to Q515 members Patrick Riley (cello), Robert Espe (violin), and VHS Alum Hanna Wolle (violin) for joining Ms. Payer (viola) and her students for a morning of chamber music!
