Profile |
"The SCSO, a California educational 501 (c)(3)
non-profit organization established in 1996, is an auditioned, volunteer
chorus with a professional orchestra committed to the performance,
education, and appreciation of a wide range of choral orchestral music
for the Greater Sacramento Region. The SCSO is unique nationally
in that it is the only Community Chorus among the 12,000 Community
Choruses in the U.S. to have a collective bargaining agreement with its
own professional symphony orchestra. The large SCSO team of 170+
dedicated singers and 55 professional orchestra players come from 7
different counties. During the past 16 years, SCSO members have
volunteered more than 500,000 hours to enhance the cultural life of our
community." |
