Special Thanks To The Following

Monique Martin – She has created a new ornament this year to raise money for the SSO. The ornament is created from vintage sheet music, beads and embroidery thread. The ornament will be available at upcoming SSO performances and at the Tiger Lily Market at the Remai Modern on November 13/14.  You can also contact her directly @moniquesart or monique@moniqueart.com  They are $15.00 each.  There are very limited quantities (75) as they are very difficult and time consuming to create.

Harden and Huyse Chocolates – A portion of their concert sales proceeds supports your SSO.
