We are proud to participate in the Annual Ole Bull Music Festival Awards Concert
The Ole Bull Music Festival was begun by Inez and Aurora Stewart Bull. This event was created to honor the memory of their ancestor, the great Norwegian violin virtuoso and composer, Ole Boremann Bull (1810-1880).
Each year, a competition is held for young musicians. In addition to other prizes, winners are given the opportunity to perform at a major New York City concert hall. The South Valley Arts Group auditions performers for the competition and for the awards concert.
