Dear Senior Symphony,
I am so grateful that we get to see each other in just two weeks at our Thursday, August 20 rehearsal! I know you’ll sound great right from the start.
Your music and part assignments for the orchestra’s September 10 & 14 Welcome Concerts are now available to you to review, download, and prepare.
At this time, please visit the Senior Symphony Member Page at myso.org to find your music and part assignments. Access the page by logging in with:
- Username: mysomember
- Password: myso2627
If you haven’t already, please also download and add the orchestra’s schedule to your personal and family calendars, too
You will need to know the music by August 20, since we’ll have just a little time together before we perform. It’s always fun when we get to visit with each other and then hear the orchestra for the first time. Please learn your parts and listen to these recordings to help:
