OUR MISSION
The Fenton Community Orchestra provides a place for musicians of all ages to connect through music and offers uplifting, educational, and entertaining programs, both for our members and our audiences.
Membership is open to musicians from age 14 and up, provided they have the desire to play and learn together.
OUR STRATEGIC PILLARS
1. Creating Opportunities for Musicians to participate in a Community Orchestra under qualified artistic leadership.
2. Enriching Community Life by sharing the Orchestra experience and performing arts with all citizens.
3. Engaging stakeholders to advance the sustainability of the organization and its mission.
OUR HISTORY

FCO is a regional orchestra with members from Fenton, Byron, Hartland, Linden, Holly, Flint, Davison, Swartz Creek, Davisburg, Grand Blanc, Durand, Howell, and Clarkston. Since the beginning, more than 200 musicians have performed with the FCO ensembles.
