Background: The Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra is a professional, per-service ensemble with a current annual budget of roughly $550,000.  Orchestra members come from a wide region, mostly within the state of Arizona. The FSO currently performs a season of four classical concerts, one pops program, an educational program with Carnegie Link Up, a full production of The Nutcracker, and an annual Fourth of July program. FSO administrative staff currently includes the Executive Director, a marketing assistant, bookkeeper, personnel manager, librarian, and a volunteer coordinator. The FSO will be celebrating its 75th season later this year. This longevity as a cultural institution in Flagstaff is due to the support of our wonderful mountain town community.
