Thank you to everyone who supported the SASO Fall Matching Challenge and helped us raise more than $25,000 to begin the 2026–27 season.

Your generosity directly supports SASO’s performances, guest artists, Chorus, Opera, and community engagement throughout the year. We are incredibly grateful to every donor who participated and helped make this campaign such a success.

We also want to thank everyone who has shared such an overwhelmingly positive response to Sopranista Fireworks. The comments, messages, and enthusiasm we have received following our season-opening concerts have meant a great deal to us. Your thoughts matter, and we are grateful that so many of you took the time to let us know how much you enjoyed the performances.

Together, you are helping SASO reach new heights and ensuring a vibrant future for orchestral music in Southern Arizona.

All around the world, in every culture, humanity is united by one beautiful thing: We sing to each other. Let the new SASO Chorus bring that spirit to you with our inaugural concert, Let All Nations Sing.

We will explore the deep connections between musical traditions, from American Sacred Harp singing to hymns in Icelandic and Xhosa. We'll sing about romance, about death, and even a little nonsense! Along the way, let's revisit the deep love for music, and for one another, that truly makes us human.

We’re so grateful to our audiences, supporters, and volunteers for helping us start the season on such a high note.

And we’re just getting started!
