Serving the Lowcountry of South Carolina, the Summerville Orchestra (S.O.) is the epitome of community serving community. Founded in 2003 by a small group of musicians who wanted to play for the pure joy of it, the S.O. has transformed into one of the largest community orchestras in the nation and was named the 2023 Best Performing Community Orchestra in the U.S. by the American Prize.
While offering programming of full-scale orchestral repertoire, the S.O. is also notable for being a “rogue traditionalist.” Each concert features non-classical music and musical surprises. Under the direction of Wojciech Milewski, the S.O. enhances the community it serves by offering five large concert performances, more than 10 chamber performances, a 10-part adult educational series titled “Music Chats with Wojciech,” a podcast, live-streaming opportunities and, as of 2022, a youth philharmonic.
