The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that beautiful music might fill the air.
Performing are (l-r) Domi Sanchez, Frederick Geiersbach, Michael Marotta, Robert Moyer, Ellen Gibby and Stephanie Tsantes.
The venue provided a wonderful aesthetic, complementing the quality of music performed.
Joseph Turi, a singer who has performed internationally, sings the bass portion of “Selection from Messiah” by composer George Frideric Handel.
SODELO is large enough to have two sections of violinists performing. The way the two sections seem to answer one another is an audible treat.
Sigred Evers, one of the younger members, shows SODELO is welcoming to all, no matter the age.
Ellen Turi sings “O Holy Night” and impresses the audience with how lovely her sound is and just how long she can hold a note.
Focusing on striking the perfect notes are (l-r) Domi Sanchez, Diane Neutzling, Charles Bachman and Michael Marotta.
“Carol of the Bells” was selected as the final composition of the afternoon.
SODELO performs an unforgettable version of “Carol of the Bells,” bringing good cheer to all those who hear.
The packed house gave several standing ovations during the concert, but the last one carried on quite a while.
SODELO may be wrapping things up for the winter, but look for them to start setting concert dates in spring 2023.
SODELO gear was available for purchase as it hung above the items being raffled off to raise money for the nonprofit. To grab some gear, or donate, check them out at sodelomusic.org.
During the reception held afterward, SODELO and its volunteers help unite these gift baskets with the owners of the winning tickets.

The Christmas music performed Dec. 10 at the brand-new Jane Clifton Ashford Center inside Camp Arrowhead was unlike most of the tunes that have been playing on radio since about mid-November. While there was some joyous singing by a couple who has performed internationally, the yuletide cheer was brought forth mostly by instruments. The Southern Delaware Orchestra, comprising individuals from a variety of backgrounds, gifted attendees with beautiful sound produced by strings ... and one sleigh bell.
The SODELO holiday concert wrapped up a successful 2022 for the nonprofit that saw the group form, rehearse and begin to fill venues across the Cape Region. While there was no river, there were plenty of woods to go through before reaching the holiday concert venue. Upon arrival, guests were directed to various spots among the trees, which Camp Arrowhead Director Walt Lafontaine jokingly said move when people are driving. A packed parking lot naturally led to a filled venue. While the first selections were not as well known by many, one couldn’t help but be drawn in by the enticing notes from SODELO and enchanting voices of Joseph and Ellen Turi.
Following a brief intermission, familiar songs such as “O Holy Night” and “Sleigh Ride” captivated the audience, leading to standing ovations. The concert concluded with a rousing rendition of “Carol of the Bells,” a selection that highlighted how powerful stringed instruments can sound. Following the concert, a reception was held, giving fans of the ensemble a chance to meet and mingle with those who brought the holiday jingle.
SODELO’s spring concert will be held at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center at 3 p.m., Sunday, March 19. Bob Cafaro of the Philadelphia Orchestra will be the featured soloist and hold a pre-concert discussion at 2 p.m. More information is available at sodelomusic.org.
