Meet the musicians of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra during its annual “VSO Unplugged” fundraiser on Aug. 23.
The fundraiser is an intimate cabaret-style event that will feature performances by violinist Michael Ludwig, VSO Principal Oboe Sherie Aguirre and vocalist Amanda Batcher that will also give guests a chance to mingle with the musicians. A silent auction will take place over the course of the evening, too, featuring fine wines, vacation packages and one-of-a-kind VSO experiences.
All proceeds from the event will support the VSO’s mission to inspire, educate and connect audiences of all ages.
