Irv Berner has been with VLOC for 4 seasons. I was an electronics engineer with RCA for many years designing commercial and military systems. I have played many classical and pops concerts, operas, musical theatre, and chamber groups with such notables as Itzhak Perlman, Midori, Sarah Chang, Lionel Hampton, Morton Gould, Leon Bates, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and others. I enjoy VLOC and other groups in the area.
