Join the Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Héctor Agüero, Jr. at the Stafford Centre on Sunday, December 7 at 2:00 p.m. as we ring in the holiday season with a festive musical event: “Deck the Halls”.  The Orchestra will perform familiar holiday tunes in a variety of styles – from the Grinch and Frosty to selections from the Nutcracker and the Messiah.  Santa Claus will be on hand to greet patrons and choral music will fill the lobby before the performance and during intermission.

Winners of the First Annual Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra Art Competition were announced this past Sunday at the Stafford Centre during the Orchestra’s concert entitled “Beethoven in Blue Jeans”. The unusual title of this concert provided the subject for the artwork submissions.

The Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra will be holding an Open House for string players on Tuesday, September 4 from 7:15 - 9:45 p.m.  Come and experience the joy that is music, as you sit next to members of the Orchestra during a rehearsal under the baton of Maestro Mariusz Smolij.  This is a great opportunity to mingle with the members of the Orchestra and test your skills without the pressure of an audition.

Auditions for the 2008-2009 season are scheduled for August 23,2008, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.  Appointments are being accepted for the positions shown below. To schedule an appointment time, please send an e-mail to Director of Auditions at auditions @ fbso.org or call 281-276-9642.
