Music in the Gardens – “To a Waterfowl," A World Premiere! 

The Virginia Chamber Orchestra’s eighth season in our Korean Bell Garden ends with a grand finale—"To a Waterfowl."   The concert is titled after the final piece in its program, the world premiere of "To a Waterfowl" by composer Rob Vuono.

Music in the Gardens concerts are free with regular garden admission ($4-$8) or garden membership.  On your way to the Korean Bell Garden, stop by our wine and beer stand in the Visitor Center to purchase light snacks and cold beverages.
