The mission of the Olympia Symphony Orchestra is " to provide the highest quality live music to enrich, educate and entertain an expanding audience" and since 1998, businesses and individuals alike have been working with the Olympia Symphony Orchestra to introduce students to live symphonic music. The 2007-2008 Season brings some changes to the Education Program that will be a better opportunity for our young musicians to experience the symphony. Some of these changes were featured in The Olympian on October 16, 2006 in an article titled: Students see effort behind music.

Attend a Symphony DRESS REHEARSAL:

Instead of issuing vouchers for the concert, OSO is opening the Sunday afternoon dress rehearsal for student observers. This will include a 15 minute introduction by Maestro Huw Edwards to the students, explaining some of the finer points of playing symphony music. The students will also get an opportunity to hear Maestro Edwards coach the orchestra as they play the music for that evening’s performance, which should be an eye opening experience.

Note: you will be attending a working dress rehearsal of the Olympia Symphony Orchestra.  Please respect the time of the musicians and staff and do not disrupt the rehearsal. OSO reserves the option of dismissing any or all rehearsal observers at any time.
