In this Issue: Season 75 Spring Recap + Upcoming Events
|
As we conclude Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra’s 75th season, we’re filled with gratitude for the music, the momentum, and most of all, for you.
This spring reminded us how powerful live orchestral music can be. We shared joy with over 1,000 students through our educational Link Up program in March. We welcomed new families and longtime supporters to the cinematic world of Heroes and Villains. And the season came to a stunning conclusion with Verdi’s Requiem, a performance that showcased the extraordinary scale and artistry of this orchestra and our partners.
Summer now brings new ways to engage, through concerts, fundraisers, and community events. And Season 76 will carry forward the vision we’ve shaped—deliberately, collectively, and with the belief that the arts belong at the center of community life.
You’ve helped make FSO a cultural anchor in northern Arizona. Thank you for sharing this season with us, and please join us for our summer events below.

Season 75: March and April Recap
|
Over 1,000 students filled the concert hall with music, movement, and joy on March 18. Link Up, our yearlong music education program in partnership with Carnegie Hall, invites 3rd through 5th graders to learn music in the classroom and then perform it live with the symphony in uplifting, interactive concerts that celebrate creativity and collaboration.

On March 22, FSO’s Heroes and Villains concert delivered a night of cinematic adventure, with iconic film scores that had audiences of all ages cheering.
Plus, a young audience member even had the chance to conduct the orchestra!
