Students perform music at the Governor's mansion

Winter Concert Orchestra

Select Orchestra students will be performing at Maymont’s Old Fashioned Christmas near the Carriage House from 1-2 pm Sunday, December 8th. No word on if they will be dressed in Victorian fashions.

From the Maymont website:

Delight in the charms of Christmas past and experience a tradition enjoyed by generations of families. Victorian ladies and gentlemen graciously welcome you to the estate and invite you to visit the Dooleys’ mansion. Marvel at the grand Christmas tree and the beautifully decorated formal rooms, and see the gifts and games of 1893 and the holiday preparations underway by the butler, cooks and other domestic staff. Enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides, visits with St. Nick, a marketplace of treasures, good food and drink, craft making, festive music, a roaring fire to cheer you and special activities that are sure to fill everyone with a merry holiday spirit. Free admission; fees for activities.
