Help Us Help Those in Need
At our concert in Littleton two years ago, Sounds of Stow honored the deep personal connection of our piano soloist, Sonya Ovrutsky Fensome, to Ukraine by raising funds for World Central Kitchen, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization delivering quality meals to families in areas of greatest need. Generous members of the chorus, orchestra, and patrons contributed over $6,000 to this fundraising effort. Regrettably, global need has only expanded since then. We hope you will consider joining us in making a donation to World Central Kitchen.
Thank you!

We will join with the Vista Philharmonic Orchestra for this wonderful holiday pops concert. There will be two performances – 2:00 pm & 7:30 pm.
Beauty in Birdsong
November 19, 2023, 2:00 pm at Littleton High School
Join us as we explore Christopher Tin’s important new work, “The Lost Birds”. In Tin’s preface, he speaks of the work being a “celebration of their beauty—as symbols of hope, peace, and renewal…but it is {also} a memorial for their loss….To pay proper tribute to these birds, I adopted a distinctly 19th-century musical vocabulary: one based on the tunefulness of folk songs with a string orchestra that is both soaring and melancholy.”
COME SING WITH US!
Sing through Spring and spring into singing! Join us in preparing this fun Celtic Celebration!
Open rehearsals: Mondays – April 8 & 15 @ 7:00 pm
