Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra

Thank you to everyone who attended our final performance of the season! And what a performance it was!

Mayor Ryan Sorenson issued a proclamation honoring the SSO for kicking off Sheboygan's celebration of America's 250th anniversary. We recognized retiring clarinetist Joe Milicia on 45 years of service to the orchestra. Nearly 50 students and chaperones from Plymouth WI Schools and a Big and Little from Big Brothers Big Sisters WI Shoreline attended the concert through generous donor support. And everyone in attendance was wowed by the extraordinary playing of pianist Llewellyn Sánchez-Werner on Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and the orchestra's brilliance on Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.

We can't wait to see you again in October!

Just 10 days until our last performance of the season! 🎶

Hear Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin, arguably one of the most iconic pieces in American classical music. Originally written for solo piano and jazz ensemble and later orchestrated for a full symphony, it blends classical form with jazz and helped define a new American sound. Its opening clarinet glissando is one of the most recognizable moments in classical music.

Performing on solo piano is Llewellyn Sánchez-Werner, a gifted virtuoso who has played at the White House and Kennedy Center and performed internationally. He holds multiple degrees from Juilliard and Yale and is an Adjunct Professor at New York University.
