Saying thank you to EMSO’s artistic partners
For the last 10 years, EMSO has had the privilege of partnering with over 40 artistic groups, musical organizations, and individual performers to create a broad range of educational, multicultural, and inspirational orchestral experiences for our orchestra and our audiences. From solo musicians and church choirs, to dancing companies and cultural musical groups, our artistic partnerships have created an eclectic history of performances for EMSO. As we complete our 10 anniversary season, EMSO would like to recognize all of the wonderful artistic partners who have shared the stage with us over the last 10 years!
