CALENDAR​​ 2026
SSO ACADEMY
Please note that the SSO Academy calendar only shows our Extra Rehearsals, Concerts, and Holidays. Otherwise weekly Saturday rehearsal at our studio is expected.
We would like to remind all members and parents that commitment is essential to maintain and achieve highest standards of all musical activities at the Orchestra Academy, hence all members must attend all rehearsals and concerts. However, extenuating circumstances such as mandatory school events, school auditions and interviews may be approved at the discretion of the Conductors by submitting the online Absence Request Form at least one week prior to the rehearsal, except illness or family emergency are last minute unexpected occurrence. Family/personal event is allowed to one (1) absence per Term.
