The VSO is now celebrating 100 years! They continue to innovate and find new ways to bring music to Virginians and the world, now with their new Music Director Eric Jacobsen!
CLICK HERE for a VSO LEARNING LAB with Sherie introducing the oboe to Elementary School students!

I was feeling very emotional yesterday, too - a mixture of sadness, but also the knowledge of the great joy and deep artistic satisfaction that working with all of you has given me. How did I get so lucky to be able to spend so many years with the VSO?
I think you have known all these years how much I have cherished your artistry, your excellence and your deep understanding of music. You have been the beacon of greatness in this orchestra and have inspired everyone who plays here.
Your gorgeous sound and exquisite playing has defined the orchestra in so many ways, and you have set the highest bar of oboe excellence for me.
Thank you for being my extraordinary colleague and friend.
With love and the greatest musical memories,
JoAnn
