ABOUT US
OPUS - is a parent board 501c3 booster organization that functions to fundraise and organize activities and events on behalf of the Oslo and Storm Grove Middle School Orchestra. We are proud to be serving Indian River County public school education by way of the performing arts and we believe that this makes an impact on the quality of our student's scholastic and holistic wellbeing.
Since its inception in 2012 it has assisted more than 1,500 students and their families. Many alumni from these programs have gone on to achieve scholarships and university degrees while still actively performing their craft as string musicians. We applaud their dedication and are thrilled to see how the performing arts have played a role in defining the great young men and women they have become today.
