Events and all Instruction are built around the concept of using music as a language to reach out to our local communities. Our venues are typically churches, schools, hospitals, nursing homes and even private residences.

Our musicians perform regularly at Da Capo events and concert series as well as in their schools, churches and with other community music groups. Pianists, Singers, and Instrumentalists of ALL ability levels from beginner to master find growth and performances opportunities abundant as a result of their relationship with Da Capo.

We make musicians, not just music...



Founded in 2006, the Da Capo institute offers musical training in a community based, passion driven approach via choruses, private instruction, coaching, small ensembles and public performances. If you live in Chesterfield or the greater Richmond area, we have options for you!!

We have developed a special immersion week utilizing the Da Capo Way that compresses our normal 10 week session into a
One Week Musical Boot Camp for all ages...

Cantare Animato: is a children/youth choral immersion experience built on the recent success of our Animato group instruction choral experience. The children will be split into age appropriate groupings and "find their voices in harmony". If your children are in grades 3 - 8, this is the summer music educational experience for them.

Chamber music for young instrumentalists I and II: young musicians will explore their instruments from pianos, to winds, to strings. This orchestral immersion is sure to be exciting for young instrumentalists.

Singing for REAL: Opera choruses and more, is targeted at adult singers and advanced High School and College singers interested in finding the passion in their voices and presenting a concert of music in a "not so normal" choral model.

All daytime students will benefit from a roster of Professional Guest Artists/Masters who will perform and talk with them daily about the business of "making music" in today's world. from travel, to concert stories, to conductors... these real life testimonials are not to be missed!
