SODELO Do More 24 Fund Raising Event

Organization Mission:

To transform and uplift Southern Delaware through the power of live orchestral music.

Thanks to our fans and the many generous donations during last year’s Do More 24 Fundraising campaign, SODELO enjoyed an amazing list of accomplishments in only its third year serving Sussex County and its citizens:
  • We  grew to a full symphony orchestra of 75+ musicians with the addition of brass, winds, and percussion;
  • We expanded to five (5) concerts from three (3) the previous year; even as,
  • We  expanded our impact from Lewes and Rehoboth Beach to include Ocean View and Georgetown, and are expanding even further
  • We sold out virtually all of our concerts;
  • We provided free programs to residents in Senior Living Facilities;
  • We Introduced children to the joy of music in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Lewes, and the Sussex Academy; and
  • We collected and distributed instruments to children who needed them through the orchestra’s “Instruments in the Attic” program
We think you’ll agree: Donating to SODELO through DOMORE24 guarantees you'll receive a BIG BANG for your charitable BUCKS! That’s money, by the way, that’s being put to good use right here in Sussex County! We’re currently raising funds for our 2025/2026 concert season and are reaching out to old friends and new supporters to drive our continued growth as Sussex County’s own community-focused, volunteer symphony orchestra.

Here’s what some of the local press have had to say about SODELO’s amazing impact on the community:

Cape Gazette: Southern-Delaware-Orchestra-Delivers-Yet Again 
"The orchestra’s performance at Cape Henlopen High School was not just a concert but a celebration of community, culture and the enduring power of live music.", Ted Pfirrman, Cape Gazette, Aug. 25, 2024.

Coastal Style: Encore SODELO
"In SODELO, young musicians, retirees and everyone in between come together, creating a harmony that reflects the spirit of the season—one of unity, joy, and celebration.", Kristen Hampshire, Coastal Magazine.

And, here is a recent interview of Steve Greifer (SODELO Co-founder & board president) on CoastLife.

Finally, here’s a bit of the music we love to make which we truly hope you will enjoy. You can also find our recent performances available on our SODELO YouTube channel.
