The Viola da Gamba Society of America is a not-for-profit
organization dedicated to the support of activities relating to
the viola da gamba in the United States and abroad.
It is a society of players, builders, publishers, distributors,
restorers and others sharing a serious interest in music for viols
and other early bowed string instruments.
We hold an annual, week-long Conclave in mid-summer at educational
institutions around the country with a faculty of internationally
recognized performers and scholars.
