The Mission:
The Happy Valley Guitar Orchestra brings together enthusiastic acoustic and electric guitarists from widely varied traditions to create new music that could only come from such an eclectic melange.  HVGO provides an opportunity for musicians to expand their artistic horizons with an orchestra experience.  Like the traditional symphony orchestra, the HVGO is an instrument unto itself, for which composers and arrangers can create new repertoire.  HVGO strengthens community in our area by bringing artists together who might otherwise never collaborate. We make loud noise and beautiful music - it's both serious and fun.

INTERESTED IN JOINING US?
You can become a member of the HVGO. Currently, we have rolling admissions for both ensemble players and section leaders and will be holding auditions in September of 2008. There will be weekly rehearsals beginning in October. While there is no singular set of skills needed to become a player, (ability to read standard notation and/or tab is preferred by not required), attendance at rehearsals and studying/practicing independently is necessary to be a part of this ambitious performance group. Participation in HVGO requires a significant artistic commitment.
