Steamboat Springs Orchestra is the only resident symphony in any major resort town in America. SSO's regular concert season runs early Fall through early Spring. Most concerts are held at the Steamboat Christian Center, which has outstanding acoustics and in which the orchestra is dramatically framed by picture window views of Mt. Werner. Two concerts each season are performed in Craig at the MCHS Auditorium. Each concert features engaging talks by SSO's popular music director/conductor, Ernest Richardson.
