SOUTH HOLLAND, IL – The Music Department of South Suburban College is excited to announce that the SSC String Orchestra is expanding to a full symphonic orchestra, beginning in August, 2016.   SSC Director of Instrumental Music, Rob Calhoon, has long felt the need for a community symphony in our area. “Up until now,” he says “there really hasn’t been anywhere for the amateur musicians of our region to play in a full orchestra unless they are willing to travel to the northern or western suburbs.”

Rehearsals are on Monday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. beginning August 22 at South Suburban College. Any instrumentalists who would like more information about the South Suburban Community Symphony Orchestra, or who would like to schedule an audition should call Rob Calhoon at (708) 596-2000, ext. 2299, or email him at rcalhoon@ssc.edu. SSC is located at 15800 S. State Street, South Holland, IL.
