Historical Note
In the autumn of 1984, a group of musicians met to discuss the
creation of a professional string orchestra, the only ensemble of its kind in
residence in Montana. Since then, the String Orchestra of the Rockies (SOR) has
become a regular part of Montana's musical life. This unique orchestra draws
upon the finest string players in the state, including faculty of the
University of Montana in Missoula and Montana State University in Bozeman,
members of the Cascade Quartet in Great Falls, and other professional teachers
and performers from Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls, and Missoula. SOR performs
without a conductor, relying on the inner cohesion and expertise of its
musicians.
The orchestra has been heard across Montana on network television's
"People and Places Under the Big Sky" and throughout the United States on
National Public Radio's "Performance Today." SOR continues to build on its
record of accomplishment, rising to a higher level of artistic development. The
orchestra two has produced two CDs. Both have been released nationally and
regionally. Through its years of growth, the purposes of the String Orchestra
of the Rockies have remained constant: 1) to enhance and enrich the cultural
climate of the region by providing classical music of the highest caliber, by
providing regular concerts, 2) to provide resource support to public and
private music education programs for Montana's children.
