Maria Aurelio, violin

Student Soloist

My grandmother introduced me to music by teaching me piano at the age of three.

She’s someone I always look up to and someone I’m forever grateful for introducing me to the arts. In 6th grade, I started learning the violin.

I've participated in SOGO for seven years and have been part of the Board serving as an Executive Student Member for the previous two years, taking part in SOGO’s mission to lead and inspire. Outside of SOGO, I’ve recently placed 1st in Solo Violin at the Chinook Region Solo/Ensemble Competition, being able to represent our region at the state competition. I’ve also been a part of the WMEA All-State Chamber and All-Northwest Orchestras these past four years playing as a first violinist.

I am performing Dvorak’s Romance in F Minor. After listening to what felt like hundreds of violin solos, I chose this work because it contained the perfect combination of “bitter” and “sweet.” When hearing this piece, I want others to take note of those soaring and climactic moments, but also those understated and restless passages, all equally important components in which makes this work a masterpiece.

I would like to acknowledge both Esther Woo, my private violin teacher and Cameron May, my SOGO Conservatory Orchestra Conductor. They inspire and encourage me to not only work hard to achieve my goals, but always take care of myself.

After high school, I plan to major in Neuroscience and continue playing violin, joining orchestras, and advocating for arts education because the community I have found within music is one that is irreplaceable. I will always be a lifelong supporter of the arts.

Committed to providing very playable, great sounding instruments, within your budget.

Future Music Makers 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.

Children interested in joining SOGO have their family member complete a simple application form. Based on their interest and demonstrated financial need, up to half the tuition fees can be awarded. All information is kept confidential.

The Future Music Makers Scholarship Fund is supported by committed community members to prevent financial circumstances from becoming an obstacle to any young musician’s participation in SOGO’s orchestras. A robust fund will ensure that all young musicians will have equal opportunity to experience the high-quality programming SOGO offers the South Sound area.

Become a Future Music Makers Scholarship Partner today!
