venue. We are passionate, dedicated musicians with an informal style. Come to a GVO
concert to relax after Sunday brunch or hours of shopping in Union Square, or to impress a

This year's family concert on Sunday, Dec 13 at 3pm features the classic
tale of Peter and the Wolf in the beloved musical arrangement by Sergei
Prokofiev. Acclaimed actress Helen-Jean Arthur will narrate the fantastical
story as Peter ventures out beyond the gate, meeting curious new friends!
Also on the program will be a brilliant performance of Sarasate's
Zigeunerweisen by one of this year's Young Artists Competition winners,
sixteen-year-old Kevin Lin -- don't miss it!
As always, we will have interactive fun for kids of all ages, including an instrument "petting zoo"
and of course, refreshments after the concert. Buy your tickets online here!
