Viola da Gamba Society | The national organization of which Pacific Northwest Viols is a chapter. The VdGSA sponsors an annual Conclave each summer. It is attended by over 200 viol players and is held at venues rotating from East Coast to Midwest to West Coast. In 2004 and again in 2007 the VdGSA chose the lovely campus of University of Puget Sound in Tacoma for its location. There is also an extensive publication program, educational outreach, viol rental program, young perfomers grants, and much more. |
