OSM
Outreach
The OSM Woodwind Quintet has been a cornerstone in Orchestra Santa Monica’s educational and community outreach since OSM was founded in 2012. The quintet’s focus is to provide live music programs to youth and local organizations. By incorporating educational talks into each performance, the quintet enhances the learning experience for younger audiences and helps introduce them to new or unfamiliar genres.
The quintet has most recently performed for the Santa Monica Boys and Girls Club (SMBGC) at the John Adams Middle School branch. It has presented concerts in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month at Virgina Avenue Park and Black History Month at the Santa Monica Main Library. The quintet has also performed for students of the Santa Monica Youth Orchestra and Elemental Music.
Thank you message from SMBGC: Please pass along our gratitude to your Woodwind Quintet ensemble for the fun and festive Halloween concert at our club! Our JAMS members loved hearing familiar tunes, and the narration in Spanish and English provided context and an opportunity for further learning about the music and composers. What a great way to kick off the fall holidays!
