Da Capo Virginia

We make musicians, not just music...

Our faculty is comprised of an elite group of handpicked, professionally trained, community minded musicians. We seek an opportunity to directly impact our communities with music through teaching and performing alike.

We are solo performers, choristers, educators, conductors, clinicians, therapists, writers, ministers, and arts advocates.

We reside and are active members in the communities that we serve. Teaching, networking and performing together provide opportunity for personal artistic development as well as a chance to share our passion for music.
