We know\nmany of you loved hearing the Turis at one of our earliest concerts\,\nand we k now you will welcome them back with open arms. The concert\nopens with Moz art's brilliant overture to The Magic Flute. This\nmasterpiece features th e lighthearted \, high-energy spirit of a fairly\ntale with darker element s. The Turis will then perform duets and arias\nfrom some of Mozart’s mo st beloved operas\,  After intermission\, the\norchestra will perform Ant onín Dvořák’s cherished Symphony No. 9\,\n\"From the New World.\" Thi s masterpiece reflects his experience and\nmusical observations in America and is perhaps his most familiar work.\nOur choice of this piece is a ref lection of our collective support and\ncelebration of America’s 250th an niversary.  As master composers\,\nboth Mozart and Dvořák were magnific ent storytellers. Mozart wove\ncomplex and marvelous tales through the spo ken and sung word of his\noperas\, the music enhancing every twist and tur n. Dvořák\, relying\nprimarily on his music alone\, proved equally adept at vivid musical\nnarrative—a skill fully realized in the descriptive p ower of the\npiece that concludes our program. We have chosen our program to\ncelebrate music you already love\, and to introduce you to pieces that \nwill broaden your classical horizons. We believe we have done so here\,\ nand hope you will agree! THE SODELO STORY In February 2022\, violinist\nS teve Greifer started reaching out on local social media to see if he\ncoul d find some musicians to play chamber music with when he moved to\nMilton in April. He hoped to play some duets or\, better yet\, play in a\nstring quartet. Eva DelGallo\, a Lewes violinist and retired school\norchestra di rector\, responded to Steve’s first postings with a much\nbigger vision than a quartet. Seeing the enthusiastic response from\nthe string-playing community\, Eva saw the opportunity to bring her\nlong time dream of an or chestra in Southern Delaware to life\, and\njumped in with both feet. Our third co-founder is our music director\,\nJames Allen Anderson\, head of O rchestral Studies at University of\nDelaware. Steve and Eva reached out to Jim in their search for a\nmusical leader\, hoping he would refer some of his conducting students.\nInstead\, Jim volunteered to lead the orchestra ! By May 3\, an unnamed\norchestra of 30 string musicians held its first r ehearsal\, and on July\n16\, a newly named/formed/incorporated 501(c)(3) S outhern Delaware\nOrchestra played its inaugural concert at Bethel United Methodist\nChurch in Lewes to a standing ovation from a capacity audience! Today\,\nwe are a full orchestra with many friends in the southern Delawa re\ncommunity who support our efforts. We practice every Tuesday night and \nhave a full roster of upcoming concerts ahead of us. Please visit our\nW ebsite at sodelomusic.org to learn more about SODELO and how you can\nbe a part of our story\, from playing with us\, to volunteering\, to\nfinancia l support. We are all about creating a wonderful musical\nexperience for b oth our members and our community\, and we plan to be a\nlong term member of the cultural scene in Southern Delaware!! We hope\nto see you soon. We are a welcoming community orchestra with members\nranging from retirees to active professional musicians to talented\nteens! We play to enthusiastic sold out houses from The Grand Opera\nHouse in Wilmington to the Rehoboth Convention Center to our home at\nCape Henlopen High School. Our performa nce this past summer on the\nFreeman Arts Pavilion stage in Selbyville was yet another high note\nfor our orchestra and audiences\, and closing out the year with two\nsold out performances of the Messiah commemorating the Southern\nDelaware Chorale's 40th anniversary was the icing on the cake! O ur\nupcoming March performances will continue to build on the short but\ne xciting history of SODELO! Venue: Epworth United Methodist Church\,\nRehob oth.
