American Studio Orchestra - Our Stories

Home: Welcome

Diverse & Inclusive Storytelling

Our multimedia concerts profile individuals of diverse backgrounds who have made an impact on the history and culture of America. 

 

Join us as we tell the inspirational stories of artists, entrepreneurs, inventors, writers, doctors, scientists, activists, and other trailblazers.  Their stories are OUR stories.

 

We are proud to announce that as of 2022, ASO is a permanent Resident Ensemble of DMV Music Academy!  This ground-breaking partnership will give ASO a physical home and allow us to launch an annual Concert series as well as several educational programs.

​

More exciting announcements are coming soon!

Larry Williams

Artistic Director

Artistic Director Larry Williams founded ASO in 2008. Throughout his career as a performer, he sought out opportunities to collaborate with the most creative and skilled artists that he could find throughout the classical, jazz, popular, commercial, and other musical genres.  These collaborative partnerships eventually included filmmakers, videographers, dancers and other creative minds which led to the evolution of ASO.
