VAM Symphony Orchestra, with members of VAM Intermediate Symphony, at the Orpheum Theatre, May 2019
Performing in a symphony orchestra is invigorating. The music comes alive through the collaboration between the conductor and musicians – an experience that not only enables the magnificence of the composition to shine, but one that also hones essential life skills such as communication, respect, and teamwork.

2023/24 Schedule & Tuition Fees
Putting your safety first
For this upcoming year, to ensure the health and safety of all students and instructional staff, the ensembles will adopt the size of chamber orchestras. Each will consist of 35 student members, and, when combined with the orchestra conductor and coaches, will not exceed groups of 50.
In addition, we will be observing the 2 metre physical distancing requirements or providing barrier devices. Revised scheduling will allow ample time for students to follow specific entry and exit procedures, and to carry out new sanitization protocols between rehearsals.
