About Furman Symphony Orchestra
The Furman Symphony Orchestra (FSO) performs a diverse range of orchestral repertoire, from classical symphonies to contemporary works. With over 60 musicians, the FSO presents four to five concerts annually, including collaborations with the Oratorio Chorus and winners of the annual Concerto Competition. In addition, the orchestra regularly performs in pit productions for the Sarah Reese Lyric Theatre’s opera and musical theatre performances. The FSO rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6 p.m. in DMB-013 (contact the Music Department for details). Auditions are held annually, and admitted musicians should register for MUS 060-01 (0-credit) or MUS 160-01 (1-credit).
