Richard, a retired entrepreneur and passionate sportsman, is deeply committed to wildlife habitat preservation. Although he dabbled in music in his twenties, it didn’t click for him at the time. However, after retirement, he became determined to learn to read music and master the bass, despite “struggling every step of the way.” His perseverance paid off, and today he plays with the Valley Youth Orchestra, the VSA Orchestra, and the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra.
For the Season 52 April orchestra concert, Richard and his wife Cindy became our first-ever concert repertoire underwriters—in addition to their other generous support. They have again taken the lead as repertoire underwriters for the Season 53 March concert. We are grateful for their example and their contribution to making the music possible for the VSA!
