Beyond VaCO

VaCO knows that supporting young musicians is a wide-reaching and long-term job that doesn't end on the last day of a course. 

Orchestras & Ensembles - As well as running VaCO courses, we have formed links with various professional orchestras that enable us to give paid opportunities to particularly promising VaCO students and alumni. 

Brantwood - An association with Brantwood House Concert Series enables us to offer much needed and sought-after solo platforms to advanced VaCO students and alumni who are launching their careers. 

Outreach Workshops - VaCO also leads outreach workshops as part of a course concert tour wherever possible, giving school children the opportunity and encouragement to make music, and giving VaCO course participants valuable education and outreach experience. 

If your ensemble or concert series is interested in forming links with VaCO to help provide more opportunities for the musicians of the future, please contact us.
