COVID-19 Update: Message from the ASO

We know that for many of us, music plays a vital role in our spiritual, mental and even sometimes our physical health. This is the impetus for a new social media series we are calling “ASO: Sounds of our Times” which will feature performances and posts curated by ASO Music Director Jim Ross with additional musical contributions from our ASO musicians. Please follow us on FaceBook and Twitter for musical posts that soothe, inspire and remind everyone how closely connected we remain, even as we maintain physical distance. Like/follow our page so you see us in your feed!

ASO has had to postpone just one concert: Our “Brandenburgs & Brew,” originally scheduled for Friday March 20, is now planned for Friday, June 12, 7:30pm at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Alexandria.  Info and tickets are available HERE.  Refunds, exchanges and other options, including conversion to a tax-deductible contribution to ASO, are available to ticket holders.

The 44th Annual Mary Graham Lasley Scholarship Competition, originally slated for Sunday, March 29, has been tentatively rescheduled for Sunday, May 3. This event has very limited seating, so please contact the ASO office if you are interested in attending.

Otherwise we remain cautiously optimistic that our May 16/17 performances of Scheherazade will proceed as scheduled.
