The FABBA Show feat. the SOGO Quartet

Olympia area high school students and SOGO Conservatory members Alluzai Villanueva, Carol Gao, Michelle Hegewald and Andy Gorrell will perform on stage with the FABBA Show! The FABBA show pays homage to 70’s Swedish hitmakers ABBA.

“The producers of The FABBA Show approached us looking for a talented ensemble of high school students which could hold their own with a rock band in front of an audience,” said SOGO Ensemble Coordinator Mary Jo Rydholm,“We are very excited to showcase our students’ musical talent on a large-scale stage for all to enjoy.”

Come out for a night of music, dancing, and white glittery jumpsuits! Tickets can be purchased through the Washington Center.
