The Shenandoah Conservatory Symphony Orchestra (SCSO) is embarking on its next international tour to Argentina in May 2023 under the leadership of Maestro Jan Wagner. Tour participants will perform in Bariloche, Córdoba, Rosario, Buenos Aires, Bahía Blanca and San Luis. Additional outreach opportunities, cultural visits and more are also in the works.

Although SCSO members commit to cover a large portion of the expenses to fund this project, additional financial support is needed to offset the extraordinary costs involved in international travel. Visit advancement.su.edu/argentinatour2023 to donate today.
