Cannon Valley Regional Orchestra
Founded in 1979 by conductor Paul Niemisto as a program of the Northfield Arts Guild, CVRO is a diverse group of volunteer musicians performing symphonic music, drawn together by the love of rehearsing and performing this fine repertoire. CVRO was founded to help create and promote orchestral music culture in the Cannon Valley communities of Southeast Minnesota.
