To build a financial base for the Virtual Theatre Orchestra to perform once live music is allowed to return.
Created during the first Covid 19 Quarantine, the Virtual Theatre Orchestra (VTO) is a handpicked professional ensemble, bringing you fresh new performances from some of the great artists in Musical Theatre.
Having begun in an online only capacity, we have enjoyed bringing performances to people's screens throughout all three lockdowns. However every musician and artist featured has performed entirely for free, some of us haven't worked professionally in over a year and due to the devastation Covid has wrought on the theatre industry we are unable to charge for a live performance as we would have done in 'normal' circumstances.
Many artists and groups have started to sell tickets and charge for online events, however we feel that our Orchestra was set up to bring happiness and light in these dark times to as many as possible, and so have decided not to charge for our online content. However if you feel that our performance warrants a donation, and you are in a position to give anything, then it would be a most graciously welcome gift.
All the money we raise will go back into the VTO, helping us to pave the way towards holding live concerts in venues as soon as we are allowed to do so. It will give the VTO the opportunity to set ourselves up as a full time professional orchestra, offering work and employment to people in the arts who have struggled in this pandemic.
The arts are so very important to the fabric of our society, and we are all committed to helping bring the magic of orchestral music back to theatres once more!
Thank You!
