A Platform for Creativity

Viva & The Reinforcements are entertainers, music makers, and community builders. Their collaboration with artists  & local businesses is what makes their cultural impact unique, raising their ambitions beyond the local standard through cooperation.

Responsive & Interactive

The art community is bursting with storytellers & creators, imagination & experienced professionals.  In the same way that different pairings of instrumentalists create new sounds together, the audience savors an immersive adventure when Viva & The Reinforcements combine their unique sound with the ingenuity of  other local dreamers.

Each Doing Our Part

Keeping the art industry alive is no joke, but always a party. When an artist pairs with Viva & The Reinforcements for a Ball, that artist creates a ballroom in their vision, & the band designs a setlist to fit the theme. Viva & The Reinforcements always pairs with another musical group & the three entities enjoy the satisfaction of giving their combined audiences a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Wider Scope

The magic of collaboration flows from the questions artists provoke each other to answer, from the challenge of describing the yet-unseen & creating the then-untried & NEW in a world already full of brilliant results.  When artists put their talents together it is an adventure in discovering themselves.
​

Create a soiree to remember

Because spinning events of this scale takes delicate care, there is only one Ball per season.  A project of this size is meant to inspire joy, not stress, but it is a serious commitment the community has come to anticipate.  We are excited to hear from you! Please be aware that out of respect for the parties involved we can only accept serious inquiries.
