What Do We Do?

House Concerts

We hold a concert every one to three months at Bruce Victor’s home in Larkspur. The performers have ranged from the internationally famous to those making their debut in front of audiences. The age range of the performers is currently 16 to 67, but we are hoping to expand it. While the music at these concerts has leaned heavily in favor of acoustic guitars, we have made it a point to include music (and musicians) from other cultures. To date this has included koras—a traditional Irish accordion—and keyboard music that graced the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. Please note that this range of cultural offerings is something we are planning to continue and expand.

Because these concerts are held in a private home, it is necessary to e-mail Bruce Victor at bruce@acousticvortex.com to request an invitation and to RSVP.
