Touring Programs

Since 2002 PALISADES VIRTUOSI has been delighting audiences throughout the Northeast, Hawaii and Canada. For each season of their subscription concert series in northern New Jersey they have created programs that include music from different eras along with the world premiere of a newly commisioned work. With 90 new works to their credit - several by Grammy and Pulitzer Prize- winning composers - PV is available to perform for your patrons!

Relaxed in their presentation to concert audiences, PV peppers its verbal program notes with personal recollections and anecdotes about the composers and works on the program, bringing an enriching and enjoyable concert experience to patrons. Their concerts offer a rich and varied musical palette from the Baroque to 21st Century!  PV also offers educational outreach with its programs & workshops for students of all ages.
