Upcoming 2020-2021 Season
Stay tuned for OSM event announcements for the 2020-2021 season! For our virtual programming, we are planning some interesting and engaging online interviews and will continue with our Classical Music Watch Parties, Classical Music Trivia Nights, and more. We are also starting to plan and coordinate for live-performance re-opening with solo and small ensemble mini-concerts. We are very excited with the prospect of bringing live musical performances to you again soon!

Virtual OSM: Classical Music Watch Parties
Enjoy classical music together with OSM Music Director Roger Kalia, musicologist Christine Wisch, and friends. The complete ‘live party experiences’ are accessible via Facebook. Each party starts with a brief pre-concert talk, followed by fantastic music, insightful commentary, live chats, questions & answers, and connections through music. Example party subjects have included Dvorak Symphony No. 8, Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances” from West Side Story, Mahler Symphony No. 5, and a family-geared presentation of Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf”. Many more wonderful parties are planned!
Once scheduled, program descriptions and details will be listed at www.facebook.com/OrchestraSM. The actual live programs are hosted at www.facebook.com/roger.kalia. See you there!
P.S. For those of you who do not use Facebook or for anyone who has missed a ‘live’ party, you can still enjoy the pre-concert talks and featured concert pieces. These are archived at Roger’s Watch Party YouTube playlist site.
