CANCELLED!! (In Person VFMC Annual Convention...stay tuned for online option)

  • Holiday Inn Roanoke-Tanglewood (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The annual 2022 VFMC Spring Convention has been canceled. The decision was based on feedback from the entire Board of Directors (Officers, District Directors, Club Presidents, and Chairs). In order to make the convention cost effective, we needed to have about 35 members stay at the hotel and partake in the meal plans, and we had just a little over half who planned to meet this requirement. Although we all would like to get together for this event, the uncertainty of the current pandemic continues to influence our decisions to meet safely and without concerns. We are looking at the possibility of holding a virtual meeting in its place, so that we can conduct the current business of the VFMC and plan for next year. Information on the Mary Smart Finals will be forthcoming once decisions are made by the chair, Lisa Thomas.

I hope to hold a fall board meeting and look forward to attending each of your district meetings in the fall.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Davis

Doctor of Education,

Kevin Ahfat will perform at the 98th VFMC Annual Convention

As an artist that “leaves no question about his riveting presentation and technical finesse” (Seattle Times), Canadian-born pianist Kevin Ahfat is acclaimed to be “poised to become one of the young heirs of the classical piano realm, with a bold, boundary-pushing, millennial style matched by refined execution” (Vanguard Seattle). He has appeared as a multi-faceted artist at venues and festivals nationally and internationally, most notably at Boettcher Hall in Denver, Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Fumin Hall in Kyoto, Japan, and Troldhaugen in Bergen, Norway. He has performed with a wide range of artists and orchestras including Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Joshua Roman, Paul Katz, and Ani Kavafian, and the Colorado, Seattle, Juilliard, and Breckenridge Music Festival Orchestras. In addition to being a two-time winner of the Juilliard Concerto Competition, he has won top prizes at numerous competitions worldwide, including the Schimmel International Piano Competition, Steinway & Sons Concerto Competition, and the inaugural Seattle Symphony International Piano Competition. Currently, Mr. Ahfat continues his studies with Joseph Kalichstein and Stephen Hough at the Juilliard School. He also works as part of the Juilliard Global Ventures team, helping to develop new digital learning environments to reach musicians across the globe.

VFMC 98th Annual Convention - Hosted by District III

  • South Hill Presbyterian Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

District III will host the upcoming Spring Convention  in South Hill, Virginia this coming May, 2019.  The event will begin in the early morning on May 16 with the Finance meeting followed by the Official Opening of the Convention and will culminate with the Mary Smart Competition on Saturday, May 18.  We hope you all will plan to attend.  

District III invites you to the town of South Hill for the 2019 state convention May 16-18. The meetings will be held at South Hill Presbyterian Church and rooms will be available at the Holiday Inn Express (hotel address 1840 N Mecklenburg Ave, South Hill, VA 23970). This will be a change as we will not be having the meetings at the hotel. South Hill is a small town, and the church and hotel are 1.4 miles apart. There is little traffic and no stoplights. The town is at the crossroads of I-85 and Route 58.
