Our Mission
Musical Director Jon Goldberg lives in Berryville, Virginia.
The transformative power of classical music to enrich our lives can illuminate our shared humanity, reminding us that in the words expressed in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony: “All men are brothers.”.
The Main Street Chamber Orchestra was founded to make classical music a relevant part of life for everyone in our community. Our name is intended to reflect that we are rooted in the community and our desire is to make great music a part of our communal lives.
In addition to our Master Works concerts, each season will feature at least one free Family Concert designed to attract and expose younger audiences to classical music. We will also explore other means to grow the relevance of this music through community involvement, participation in musical offerings at public schools in the community, and lectures and special events for young people and their families.
As an emerging organization we are dependent on your continuing financial support; but we are also seeking direct input of ideas. We want this to be your orchestra, and we welcome your involvement.
