Composed of exceptional alumni from the Festival’s training programme, the VFCO musicians now hold positions in some of the world’s most prestigious orchestras, including the Vienna, Berlin and New York Philharmonics, the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Concertgebouw, London and Chicago Symphony Orchestras. This spring, the VFCO continues its mission of sharing extraordinary music beyond the Festival, embarking on exciting tours across four countries and three different continents: India, South Korea, France and the United States at Stanford University. |
