Get to Know your S.O.!
Every week, get to know one of your Summerville Orchestra's very own musicians. Hear their stories, how they got here, how they got involved in the orchestra, and most importantly, hear them play the very pieces that inspire(d) them on their own instruments. What better way to connect with your favorite orchestra than to get to know the very players at the heart and center of the music.

S3 E1 - Getting to Know Pianist Dr. Robert Auler
Welcome back to Season 3 of "Get to Know Your S.O.!" In season 3, we highlight some of the guest artists that are coming to perform with our amazing orchestra, and bring you closer to them! Featuring artists from our 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons!
In this first episode, we get to know Dr. Robert Auler, piano. Dr. Auler performed "Rhapsody in Blue" on our February 2022 concert, and also gave us a world premiere of a Romance for piano, written for one of our dear season ticket holders. Luckily for us, Dr. Auler plays parts of BOTH pieces during our episode, so be sure to tune in to hear him make some brilliant music.
I have had the wonderful pleasure of having Dr. Auler as a professor at SUNY Oswego, where I studied piano and music theory with him. We speak about our time at Oswego, sports, motivation, and more in this entertaining and informative episode.
