Talent Night was a big hit! So many wonderful folks turned out. Here is just a little peek into the great evening!

Spring Beginner’s Luck!!

Violins & More loves the Lynchburg Community! That is why we try to provide opportunities for kids and adults to get involved in music.

Beginner’s Luck is an adult ensemble for those 18 and older who are just starting their musical journey or who are dusting off an instrument they played years ago.

We host rehearsals and recitals for this group.

Bravo to the musicians and our own fearless leader, Allan Heer!

We hope you can join us when we start up rehearsals this Summer. Contact us for more information.
