EMSO is proud to collaborate with numerous fellow performing artists and performing arts groups from within and around the East Metro. Together we have delivered a great variety of musical experiences, including a piano concerto highlighting the students of a local teacher; a collaboration with an acapella show chorus; an investigation of Indonesian music and dance; and an afternoon of big band swing music.
