Welcome to the 24th season of Student Orchestras of Greater Olympia (SOGO). The Fall Concert starts with the Conservatory Orchestra performing Joyride by Markowski – a new rendition of the popular Ode to Joy.

Music Director Cameron May continues to push the envelope with Music for a Midnight Carriage Ride by local composer Austin Schlichting. Think Halloween or the scariest movie you have ever watched! The concert wouldn’t be complete without bringing in the cannons with the ever-popular 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky.
