Join us for a captivating night of Folias Duo with the Vintage Parlor Orchestra at the Creston Brewery. This unique collaboration of flute and guitar with orchestra is not to be missed. Come and enjoy the wonderful combination of music and local brews.
The Vintage Parlor Orchestra returns to Creston Brewery for two nights of classical music and brews! Since it’s inception in October 2018, VPO has produced 18 programs around the West Michigan area by getting orchestral music out of the concert halls and into the community.
We are excited to invite Andrew Bergeron (guitar) and Carmen Maret (flute) of Folias Duo back to join us in February! Andrew will begin the concert with a movement from Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un Gentilhombre. After a brief interview, Carmen will join us with Folias Duo originals arranged by Andrew for flute and string orchestra. Both Carmen and Andrew will join the strings with Bach’s Double Concerto on flute and guitar, and we will finish the evening with a Symphony by Joseph Martin Kraus.
Grab a beer and experience classical music like never before! The night will feature a relaxed atmosphere, clapping between all movements, a chamber orchestra, and some seriously tasty Creston brews! We will also be engaging our audience in a game of Random Instrument Challenge! Instruments are courtesy of our sponsor, Meyer Music.
Doors open at 7:00pm | Music begins at 7:30pm
We highly recommend Creston Brewery’s fantastic menu before the show in the main taproom! Arrive by 5:30 to give yourself enough time to order and eat. Food will not be served in the Golden Age during the concert.
