Welcome to Valley Classical Concerts

The Ulysses String Quartet played the sixth concert of the 2024-2025 season. They captured the audience with an energetic, musical and masterful performance.

Who We Are

Valley Classical Concerts was founded as “Music in Deerfield” in 1979.  Now based in Northampton, our mission is simple: to bring first-rate performances of classical chamber music to the Pioneer Valley, music and artists that might otherwise only be heard in major metropolitan areas.  Valley Classical Concerts (VCC) presents both mainstream classical music and works of 20th and 21st-century composers, performed by a mix of established musicians and exciting early-career ensembles.  VCC broadens access to this great music through deeply discounted family and student pricing and other special admission opportunities.

Coming in 2025-26!

Our 45th season was among our most successful ever. There remains only to thank our artists, Smith College hosts, Board members, volunteers, and especially you, our loyal and growing audience! You came out in numbers we hadn’t seen since before the pandemic, you cheered, and you asked for more. That being said we proudly announce our 2025-2026 season!
