OLLI Orchestra, a diverse group of local musicians, is devoted to sharing the joy of music-making. We perform two concerts a year, engaging our audience and enriching the cultural life of Nevada County.
Unlike Nevada County's other classical music organizations, OLLI musicians are volunteers who live in our community.
