Side By Side Sunday, February 28, 2021
Join us for Side By Side Sunday, February 28, and experience a SOGO rehearsal free. Maybe you have a friend in SOGO that has invited you or you have heard about the program and are interested in checking us out, either way, we look forward to meeting you. There will be music available for you to play along with. The conductor and the teaching artist will help you.
2020 Year-End Goal!
Use your $300 taxpayer charitable contribution to meet Student Orchestras of Greater Olympias’s goal to raise $3,000 before the end of the year!
The CARES Act gives you the opportunity to deduct up to $300 of a donation to your favorite charity! For a small organization like SOGO, that keeps the music alive for these young musicians.
While COVID-19 has taken our opportunity to present live concerts away, that didn’t restrain SOGO. Going virtual with our concert this fall struck a chord for over 1,200 households that recently attended the YouTube performance.
We are blessed with the miracle of technology which made our first concert possible – this, however, comes with a price. SOGO is planning a winter concert to share with you and the community so we are asking for your help to secure another virtual performance for the young musicians.
The clock is ticking! Help us guarantee a winter concert for the young musicians to create – and the community to celebrate!
SOGO HO HO Brass Choir Holiday Show
CHRISTMAS MEMORIESÂ – (Wednesday, December 23, 7pm)
Tune in to hear some traditional and not-so-traditional brass choir music performed by the Conservatory and Academy brass players. This is the 2019 performance celebrating 20 years of HO HO Holiday Brass Shows. Christmas Memories is a compilation of our favorite music conducted by Greg Allison and assisted by Elizabeth Ward. A special guest appearance by The Frog will delight young and old! Thank you to our friends from the Olympia Youth Choir, Nadine Bozeman, director of the Cantabile ensemble, Elizabeth Weisenfeld, emcee, and Anna Garrett, vocals and piano. We would be remiss if we didn’t give a shout-out to our amazing “court composer” Mr. Mark Thome who does so many of the arrangements for the HO HO Holiday Brass Shows.
