Your support helps SASO continue to explore the world of music with our audiences.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for sharing this
past season with us. We
hope you enjoyed our refreshing new works alongside several powerhouse favorites.

Our season opened with Scotland's national anthem, conducted by one of SASO's supporters in full dress kilts, accompanied by nearly a dozen bagpipers. Our fantastic guests artists came from places as close as the Univerity of Arizona and as far away as Turkey, Brazil and Chile. We accompanied our annual Youth Concerto Competition winner, another fine young musician who will carry forward a love for classical music.
And we began recording our first professional CD of premiere works by Tucson composers.

As you can see from the repertoire on the left, next season promises more fantastic concert experiences. Season tickets for our Sunday afternoon series are on sale now - at the same price of just $75.

Enjoy your summer and we look forward to seeing you for the downbeat in October.

Linus Lerner
Music Director
