Who:  The RTO has expanded by adding the RTSO.

​

What:  The RTSO will be a strings-only version of the RTO with some percussion, as needed.  The philosophy of the RTO will extend into the RTSO.  As in RTO, there is no pressure to come to every rehearsal or every concert.  If you come, you play; if you don’t come, you don’t get to play!  The music is on the “medium easy” side.​

 

Where:  We rehearse at St. John’s UCC Church, 8065 William Penn Highway, Easton, PA  18045

 

When:  We will rehearse twice a month from 2:30 to 4:00 on the following Sundays: Jan. 12, Jan. 26, Feb. 9, Feb. 23, March 9. March 23, April 6, April 27, May 11, May 25, June 8 and June 22.

 

Why:  Why not?  This is just another opportunity for string players to play with an ensemble.  Traveling at night is becoming difficult for some people.  You may be in both RTO and RTSO or one or the other.

 

How:  The concept was presented to the RTO Board, and they agreed that it was a good idea!  Barry Webb checked with the church where he holds his worship services and they gave their approval.  While looking for music for RTO, there seemed to be a lot of music available for string orchestra.​
