Triangle Performance: Grab your chance to join the VMMFs Festival Ensemble for the grand finale of the entire festival on July 26 — as the all-important triangle player in Antonín Dvořák's exhilarating Slavonic Dance.

You'll participate in one rehearsal and the concert performance on July 26, culminating in a five-minute musical celebration that sends the audience home cheering.
No experience necessary — just enthusiasm and a love of Dvořák, and a desire to support the future of the Valley of the Moon Music Festival!

Festive Schubertiade: Step into the 19th century for an evening, in a setting inspired by the English Arts & Crafts movement, to experience what was known as a Schubertiade — an intimate gathering with a private concert. Artistic Director Tanya Tomkins and VMMF pianist Audrey Vardanega will be joined by a very special guest violinist to perform Schubert’s magnificent Trio in B-flat for your group of eight following a cocktail reception. After the final note subsides, enjoy an elegant sit-down dinner in a festive celebration of the holiday season.
