SRJO Plays SRJO

Description

Join us on May 9th at 7PM for a special livestreamed concert of pieces written by SRJO players during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“For many musicians, time off from performing leads to creative output in other ways. We’re excited to share with you the very fun, swinging and uplifting pieces that our SRJO musicians have written during the isolation of the pandemic, and we’re certain you will enjoy them.”

— Clarence Acox, Co-Artistic Director
