VALLEY MUSIC LOVERS 2007-08 SEASON 

Established in May 2001, VALLEY MUSIC LOVERS (VML) comprises members of our New River Valley communities who are committed to promoting public appreciation of the musical arts, especially chamber music, and encouraging the talent of young musicians through opportunities to meet and learn from professionals.  VML welcomes your support and involvement to keep music growing in the Valley!

The VML concert series has been made possible purely through the generosity and continued interest of chamber music lovers.  We give you, our generous donors and wonderful supporters our heartfelt thanks.  We hope you will continue to help us spread the music!
