SOGO Honored to Host Midori’s Orchestra Residencies Program – January 21 – February 4. As a leading concert violinist for over 35 years, Midori and her Orchestra Residencies Program is coming to SOGO!

Midori is offering multiple workshop opportunities to support SOGO’s members. It is Midori’s hope that these live online experiences will help keep young SOGO musicians engaged, motivated, and excited. Topics covered will include How to Practice, Aural Heritage, Encouraging Young People to Keep Music in Their Lives Beyond High School, and Healing Through Music.

All the workshops will be open to the public and we encourage you to join us. No workshop series would be complete without Midori presenting a Violin Master Class. She will be working with SOGO members in a virtual 90-minute session – listening to intermediate and advanced violinists.

No matter what instrument you play, young or old, there are opportunities for you to learn from this one-time opportunity.

The gallery includes a video of the Conservatory Orchestra rehearsing Dvorak’s New World Symphony. The pictures include SOGO’s MOJO ensemble coached by Mrs. Rydholm preparing for a Beatles concert, Mr. May conducting, an unusual cello case at the H.S. Solo and Ensemble Contest, and SOGO’s board members at a retreat.
