SOGO’s season opener promises an exciting mix of talent, tradition, and a few surprises. Featured guest and SOGO alumnus Henry Nordhorn returns to the stage with the Conservatory Orchestra and Brass Choir, performing works by Gershwin and Mozart on French horn. A graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory and now a member of the Spokane Symphony, Henry brings his artistry full circle. Audiences will also enjoy Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, Bizet’s Carmen Suite No. 1, and Danzas Cubanas, a vibrant new piece by American composer Robert Sheldon.

The Philharmonic and Academy orchestras round out the program with a dynamic mix of classic and contemporary selections. And to kick off the evening—you might just find yourself part of the performance!
