GUEST CONDUCTOR

JEN GRADY, Orchestra

Teacher, North Thurston Public Schools

Jen Grady is a local Olympian who has been a recording and touring cellist/vocalist for the past twenty years. She has been involved with many albums and artists worldwide and was fortunate to have been supported by mentors who encouraged her to become a teacher. She was a teaching artist in POGO (Play On Greater Olympia), a subsidiary of SOGO, providing free access to playing string instruments for public school students. She now shares her love for creating music with her Orchestra students at Nisqually Middle School and Meadows Elementary. Through her teaching, she continues to see the cultural wealth of youth passionately shaping and redefining the music scene in the South Sound. Jen is grateful to be invited to the SOGO stage alongside this incredible Debut Orchestra.

Consider Monthly Giving starting at $10 or Workplace Matching Gifts where employees are rewarded for charitable giving and companies often match dollar for dollar. Along with Tribute Gifts honoring a loved one, stocks, Mutual Funds, and IRA required minimum distribution, you can impact SOGO by furthering its mission today.

SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Although our fees to participate in SOGO are reasonable, they are still a barrier for many families. We believe young musicians benefit from participating in SOGO’s programs and should not be prohibitive because of economic circumstances. For that reason, SOGO is reaching out to begin building the Future Music Makers Scholarship Fund.

A robust fund will ensure that all young musicians will have equal opportunity to experience the highquality programming SOGO offers the South Sound area.
