The String Orchestra of the Rockies is raising the curtain on its 28th season! It is the only professional ensemble of its kind in Montana and draws upon the talents of the finest string players in the Big Sky Country. All SOR members are successful string teachers in addition to their professional performance schedule. This unique 15-member orchestra invites audiences to connect emotionally with them as they treat listeners to music as varied as Montana itself. Members rehearse in a collaborative effort that enables each player to have an impact on the artistic process. Performing without a conductor, they rely upon the individual expertise of the players to create a cohesive, dynamic sound. Many varied world-renowned guest artists have shared the stage with the SOR, resulting in a musical collaboration that is absolutely thrilling for the concert audience. In addition to these exceptional performances, SOR continues its commitment of ‘giving back’ to our community by offering master classes and workshops taught by these fine artists. |

Through its years of growth, the purposes of the String Orchestra of the
Rockies have remained constant:
* To enhance and enrich the cultural climate of the region by providing
classical music of the highest caliber.
* To provide resource support to public and private music education
programs for Montana's children.
The orchestra has been heard across Montana on network television's
"People and Places Under the Big Sky" and throughout the United States
on National Public Radio's "Performance Today."
By nurturing Montanans' lives through music, we affirm the goodness of
humanity and our infinite capacity to express and perceive beauty.
