About the FSO
The FSO plays a critical cultural role in our community bringing a high-standard of performance to the Wind River Mountain region. Our mission is to develop classical orchestral music appreciation through regular concerts, giving student and adult musicians in our community opportunities to perform.
Our Beginnings
The FSO was founded in the 1980’s with a small group of string players. Rebecca Murdock became the music director in 1987.
1990s and 2000s
In the early 90’s, the group became a full symphonic orchestra. By the early 2000’s FSO gained non-profit status.
The Fremont Symphony Orchestra
FSO hosts national soloists and regional professional musicians, in addition to offering local soloists and choirs performance opportunities with the orchestra.
