SSO Brass Duo entertains students at Mooretown Elementary Wednesday Nov 9, 2011

SSO Principal Trumpet Rick Rowell and I (the SSO Brass Duo) played movie music, a little jazz and ragtime and demonstrated our orchestra instruments to several classes of exuberant and enthusiastic students at Mooretown Elementary School yesterday afternoon. We were welcomed warmly by students and faculty who treated us to smiling faces, questions about our instruments and the orchestra and requests for ticket information.

The SSO ensembles will present several performances in the elementary schools this season as part of its educational outreach programs.
