This website, our first ever, is under construction and coming soon. We will now be sending all announcements and other correspondence by e-mail. If you are
a current VCS member, or would like to be on our e-mail list, please e-mail your e-mail address to us at: info@violoncellosociety.org.
As you may know, our Administrator of the last 40 years, Esther Prince, passed away on Jan. 13, 2008. We are now in a major organizational transition, and we must request your ongoing patience. At the moment, we have no staff to answer inquiries. You can write to us at info@violoncellosociety.org, and we will take note of your communication, but we trust you will understand if we are not able to respond to everything, at least right away. Please check back to this site for the latest developments, which will be posted here as soon as possible.
Thank you,
the VCS Board of Directors
