There will be an opportunity to Meet Your Musicians in the Trenton High School Commons after the concert.
GRVCO is a 501(c)(3) organization. It has no sponsors and relies on donations.
Performances are free because of a donors club and anonymous donors who contribute to concerts. Financial support helps provide funds to continue the organization’s mission. Information on the donors club will be available at the door of the concert on December 10th.
The GRVCO Board selected the THS Music Department to receive a special collection to be taken at the concert.
