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.

For the 2021-2022 season, musicians are required to comply with COVID-19 QSO guidelines, including providing proof of vaccination and remaining masked when possible.

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