Another Alma del Core community concert done! Another great program!! Grateful for all of the musicians who participated and for our warm, enthusiastic audience. ❤️

Today's program! We were delighted to be joined by our first guest artist of the season, soprano Ariana Wyatt. A thrill to share the stage with her!

We're looking forward to our next concert in January!

What a wonderful afternoon of music making as we kicked off our second season of our Alma del Core Community Music Series. Local students, amateurs, and professionals all making music with one another...what could be better?!?!

[Alma Ensemble @AlmaEnsemble]

@RalphGraves Yep! That's the one we're doing! Right after that we're doing Libby Larsen's "Try Me, Good King" from her set, Last Words of the Wives of Henry VIII. It's really fun to do them side by side.

Happening THIS Saturday! We'll be joined by Virginia Tech's very own soprano, Ariana Wyatt to kick off our 2nd season of our Alma del Core Community Music Series.

She'll be singing songs by Alma Mahler, Fanny Hensel, Clara Schumann, Libby Larsen & Anne Boleyn (?!?)

We were blown away by last night's audience in Blacksburg, Virginia! So many friends, colleagues and hopefully new friends. We even had a young musician who was celebrating her 16 birthday choose to spend it listening to the performance.

Our hearts are full! ❤️❤️❤️
