Joining the QSO

The QSO is composed of volunteer musicians from communities across the South Shore and the Greater Boston area. We perform a a wide range of music from the symphonic repertoire, from the Baroque masterpieces of Bach to the symphonies of Beethoven and Brahms to modern classics by the likes of Stravinsky, Debussy and Ravel.

A list of the repertoire from our recent concerts can be found here. You can listen to excerpts from past performances here.
