Chamber Music Festival 2013 Black Hills of South Dakota

The Orlando Chamber Soloists and the Chamber Music Festival now serve 4 counties in Western South Dakota including the communities of Lead/Deadwood, Sturgis, Rapid City, Rockerville, and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.  Our programs include 3 Classical Concerts and 4 different educational programs for all ages.  Our newest program this summer is Music in our Community (click here for more info.) where area students and college students perform as individual members of the Orlando Chamber Soloists.  More information can be found under the Educational tab listed above.  
In our upcoming summer residency, we will continue to service the four counties in Western South Dakota and the results are becoming clear that our activities are taking root.  The Black Hills Children’s Home has started a string program for their children and our involvement with the preschool and daycare programs throughout Rapid City and the Black Hills is becoming more and more interactive.  Children and adults are taking a more active role in our educational programs and we cherish every moment.  

We are thrilled to announce our newest educational program, We Are South Dakota (click here)  The music and audio files are coming soon to the most exciting and aggressive interactive and educational project we have ever undertaken.  Please check back soon as the logistics are taking shape quickly.

Sincerely: 
Michael and Dawn, and all the Orlando Chamber Soloists
