Stories with Music

​​​​July and August at a library near you!

In partnership with area libraries, Stories with Music promotes literacy among young children and students through the powerful connection of music and literature. OSFL musicians present a featured storybook set to music, along with other musical selections. Fun for all ages, Stories with Music offers a chance to get up close with the musicians of the OSFL, learn about their instruments, ask questions, and enjoy a free concert.

Thank you for supporting Sounds of America!

Because of supporters like you, Sounds of America—our free, outdoor concert at Eldridge Park in Elmira—was a huge success.

​Beyond just one night of music and fireworks, this concert is poised to be the spark of a new annual tradition—a way for us all to gather, be uplifted by live symphonic music, and connect across the Finger Lakes region.

We can’t wait to see you again next year!

Sing with us in the Chorus of the Southern Finger Lakes

The Chorus of the Southern Finger Lakes is an enthusiastic community of volunteer musicians. All voice parts are invited to join the Chorus in September.

Don't miss your chance to perform alongside the region's premier professional symphony orchestra! The experience has been called "powerful," "life-affirming," and "breathtaking."  Chorus members come back year after year to perform with the region's premier professional symphony orchestra.

Support the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes

Symphonic music provides a critical component in our schools and in our community to bring peace of mind and wellness of soul. The OSFL is a place to relax, unplug, and have a respite from the stresses of daily life. You can directly support the OSFL's concerts and educational programs ​by making a tax-deductible donation today.
