2009-2010

CVRO Thirtieth Season

We are a diverse group of volunteer musicians performing in the orchestra , drawn together by our love of music. Anyone with talent and motivation is welcome, from exceptional twelve year olds to octogenarians. Players come from all walks of life: college math and chemistry teachers, school teachers and administrators, high school choral and band directors, business owners, clerical workers, housewives, retired persons, and students from middle school through college. A unique feature of the orchestra is the large pool of musicians that it draws from. The roster lists two hundred musicians in the region, all of whom have played either regularly or occasionally with the orchestra. Each section has a core of players, and others play as needed or as available. Players come from twenty-two communities: Apple Valley, Blaine, Bloomington, Cannon Falls, Dundas, Eagan, Faribault, Farmington, Lake City, Lonsdale, Montgomery, Nerstrand, New Prague, Northfield, Owatonna, Prior Lake, Red Wing, St. Paul, Stanton, Warsaw, Webster, West Concord.
