Alma Del Core: Celebrating Season Five!

Five seasons of collaboration, discovery, and the joy of making music together!

Alma Del Core is a chamber music concert series bringing together musicians from across our region—students, dedicated amateurs, and professionals—to share the music they love, from timeless classics to exciting new works. At the heart of our series is a commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for collaborative performance and shining a spotlight on composers whose voices have been historically underrepresented.

Now in its fifth season, Alma Del Core continues to grow from Alma Ensemble’s mission to build community through great music. Each season brings new collaborations, fresh perspectives, and the opportunity to discover music together. We’re thrilled to welcome returning musicians and new faces alike as we continue this shared musical journey.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT ALMA DEL CORE:

“The Alma Ensemble and Alma Del Core Community Concert Series is vital to the musical health and diversity of Roanoke, VA. Not only does Alma highlight the beautiful works of female composers, potentially not as well known to concertgoers, but they also provide an essential outlet for performers of all ages and experiences to sing or play works in front of an audience that they might not normally have tin this specific region. Alma Del Core concerts are always delightful, professional, and engaging.” - Cory C.

“My first concert experience with Alma Ensemble was absolutely lovely. This group is full of the most gracious, talented, and inspirational people. The space they’ve created for our community in Roanoke is both needed and beloved by so many, and the concert itself was a joy to listen to. I have played piano for a long time, and it wasn’t until joining their sphere that I realized I truly haven’t played any music written by women- which is a travesty. I am eager to listen and learn more from Alma, they’re doing wonderfully important work.” Hannah H.

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in the Alma Ensemble Concert Series.  It was such a great experience to be able to play in front of an audience in a friendly, low-stress environment, especially as a middle-school student.  As a female musician, I appreciate hearing and seeing strong women role models. I really enjoyed performing at the Alma Ensemble Concert Series!” - Katherine K.
