The String Orchestra of the Rockies

The String Orchestra of the Rockies SOR--The Premier Conductorless String Orchestra in Montana for 40 years!

The String Orchestra of the Rockies is the only professional ensemble of its kind in Montana and draws upon the talents of the finest string players in the Big Sky Country. All SOR members are successful string teachers in addition to their professional performance schedule. This unique 15-member orchestra invites audiences to connect emotionally with them as they treat listeners to music as varie

d as Montana itself. Members rehearse in a collaborative effort that enables each player to have an impact on the artistic process. Performing without a conductor, they rely upon the individual expertise of the players to create a cohesive, dynamic sound. Many varied world-renowned guest artists have shared the stage with the SOR, resulting in a musical collaboration that is absolutely thrilling for the concert audience. In addition to these exceptional performances, SOR continues its commitment of ‘giving back’ to our community by offering master classes and workshops taught by these fine artists.
