Meet Aria, the Conductor Bear!

In 2018, the VSO and Vermont Teddy Bear brought you the first "Conductor Bear" named "Maestro." He was such a hit with audiences, touring the state and meeting guest musicians throughout the season.

This year, in honor of the number of female conductors visiting the VSO this season, we decided to celebrate by creating "Aria," the new Conductor Bear. Each $10 donation made gives the donor a chance to win Aria and bring her home at the end of the season. All funds raised through this campaign support the statewide performances of the VSO, and help support our work in diversity in the arts.
