The OSO is comprised of 20 core players, joined by many other regular and occasional players as necessary for each performance. Our core players and many of our regular extras — some of whom have been with the OSO for decades — are well-known to our audiences and contribute greatly to our communities. Our musicians truly are the heart and soul of the OSO.Â
