Sylvania Community Orchestra
Our next concert will be May 31st at the Franciscan Center-this is a free community event !
Through partnerships with youth orchestras, our young artists solo competition, multi-generational rehearsals, and collaborations with other community ensembles, the SCO strives to enrich the cultural life of our community and foster a lifetime of musical creativity for instrumentalists of all ages and levels of expertise.
The Sylvania Community Orchestra cordially invites the community to their Americana 250 concert on Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 4:00 pm. Celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States of America with this free community concert, held at Lourdes University’s Franciscan Center. The Sylvania Community Orchestra (SCO) and Sylvania Arts are excited to present a program which includes perennial favorites such as Sousa’s El Capitan, Copland’s Variations on a Shaker Melody, and Bernstein's Overture to “West Side Story” as well as tributes to George Gershwin and Louis Armstrong. Your friends and neighbors of the SCO are having a great time preparing this concert and can’t wait to share this music with you.
