Seattle Collaborative Orchestra
SCO started as a grassroots ensemble in the fall of 2012. Dr. Anna Edwards initially started this orchestra in response to her research concerning gender, leadership, and the clear under-representation of women conductors and composers in professional symphonies. Dr. Edwards wanted to offer a positive mentoring experience featuring the works of female composers that offered similar educational benefits to the Seattle Symphony’s “Side by Side” program while increasing diversity in the field.
