I’m Davina Anderson.
I’m fundraising for SODELO (Southern Delaware Orchestra).
SODELO is dedicated to fostering musical excellence, diversity, inclusion, collaboration, and community engagement in Southern Delaware. Since its inception in February 2022, SODELO has experienced significant growth, expanding from a String Orchestra to a full Symphony Orchestra by 2024. The organization strives to create an inclusive environment for orchestra musicians in Southern Delaware, providing them with opportunities to learn, perform, and contribute to the enrichment of our cultural heritage. SODELO’s ensemble comprises professionals, educators, high school students, and retirees, all dedicated to the pursuit of classical music. Your support will ensure that residents of Southern Delaware continue to appreciate the beauty of classical music for generations to come.
About SODELO (Southern Delaware Orchestra)
Mission: SODELO is Sussex County's own symphony orchestra! We are dedicated to spreading a love for orchestral music across Southern Delaware. We enrich the community's quality of life through performances, educational programs, and outreach initiatives. Our standing-room-only concerts reflect the community's support, and we aim to achieve even more in the coming years.
The Southern Delaware Orchestra (SODELO) has been recognized as a bright new musical voice in Southern Delaware, and we need your help to do even more for the community in the coming year.
We held our first rehearsal in May of 2022 and have grown from a string ensemble of 32 players to a full orchestra of 75 musicians, with winds, brass, and percussion. Our orchestra members comprise a diverse community of students, local business-owners, professionals, amateur musicians, music educators, retirees, veterans, and more.
We are so proud to continue growing in numbers and musicianship, making music, and building friendships within the orchestra and the community. From Wilmington’s Grand Opera House to Epworth UMC in Rehoboth to Cape Henlopen High School in Lewes, we play sold-out concerts for enthusiastic audiences who respond with standing ovations and "Encore" requests.
