Dear FSO Friends,

Welcome to our Eleventh Season! We hope that you will join us for an exciting season filled with great music. Packed with sentimental favorites and challenging repertoire, the menu has something for everyone. We are especially fortunate this year to have a glittering cast of soloists. Baltimore trombonist Brandon Rivera tackles Larsson’s dazzling Concertino in October and British pianist Rachel Franklin performs Beethoven’s majestic Piano Concerto No. 1 in May. In response to last year’s sold-out Holiday Pops Concert, we will be adding a second performance in December. Those concerts will feature the iconic Baroque masterpiece, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, performed by the amazing Lisa Vaupel. Don’t miss it! And of course, we are always proud to present our annual Young Artist Competition in March. Enjoy the show!
