A Note from the Maestro

Dear Friends,

This Sunday, Labor Day weekend, September 5th kicks off the beginning of The Villages® Philharmonic Orchestra's 18th season. I am honored and privileged to share the stage with this group of wonderful musicians that make up The Villages Philharmonic Orchestra.

These incredibly talented musicians help make my job easy in honoring the vast repertoire of past and present composers. This week will be our Labor Day Concert and will feature many amazing and talented Artists including; Alfreda Gerald, Shari Beshers, Marcella Richardson, Clark Barrios, Norman Lee and Sean Christopher Stork. To open our September concert series, a select group of our musicians from The Villages Philharmonic Orchestra will treat you to a pre-concert performance in the lobby. In addition to Sunday's inaugural concert, there will be more exciting artists and concerts to come throughout The Villages Philharmonic Orchestra's 2021-2022 season.

We have always appreciated the support and will continue to provide quality world-class concerts and artists for your enjoyment. I hope to see you all not only for this Sunday's Labor Day concert, but for all the concerts this season.

Musically yours, Pasquale Valerio
