Mission & Purpose:
InConcert Sierra presents exceptional classical and choral performances that inspire and enhance our cultural life. We offer a warm, inclusive community for enjoying outstanding chamber and choral music and we provide educational opportunities for youth and adults.
Success Story:
InConcert Sierra brings the best in classical music to the forefront and gives our audience an opportunity to experience live music that will make their hearts pound, emotions soar, and find their own inspiration through the music. This occurs in a friendly and inviting atmosphere, giving the audience opportunities to get to know the artist and the music through a pre-concert forum, the concert, and a meet-and-greet following the concert. In addition, InConcert Sierra gives scholarships, provides free concerts for students, and gives grants to deserving young musicians.
Robert Grace, an Englishman who saw Nikolai Lugansky perform in San Francisco, came to Grass Valley in March 2011 to see his favorite artist in an InConcert Sierra performance. InConcert Sierra supported Mr. Grace in finding housing for the concert and Mr. Grace was very grateful, sending warm thanks for the orchestra’s amazing performance and professionalism. Local businessman, Ken Getz, agreed: “It is just astonishing that we can hear performances like Nikolai Lugansky here in Nevada County. There are pianists, and then there are PIANISTS. Lugansky played pieces that are a challenge to any world-class pianist, yet the technical part was the least of his accomplishments. His musicality, tenderness, and the sensitivity of his playing amazed me. Thanks to InConcert Sierra for bringing this artist (I would argue, one of the best pianists in the world) to our local community.
Vicki Cambron, a member of the chorus, wrote in May 2012 about the recent performance of The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace by Karl Jenkins. 
The Armed Man was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. I am so very grateful for this opportunity & for the performances of the orchestra & chorus . I’m also very grateful to the audiences for taking this wonderful journey with all of us. I think I now understand what some of the super stars experience on stage. I’m still smiling & thinking about it still brings tears to my eyes & joy to my heart.
