ViolaMANIA! was back last Fall at the Hillside Club Monday November 10, 2025. We had a zany evening of viola fun! Don't miss the next all-viola concert with local viola luminaries and featuring our ever-popular viola group play-in of the Telemann Concerto in G major. 
A huge shout-out to Heaney Violins in Mountain View and Ifshin Violins in El Cerrito for their generous donations towards our raffle! With their support we are able to continue our programs to promote the viola, violists and all things alto clef in Northern California.
