The FVSO welcomes all new musicians to be members of the orchestra.  Regular attendance is required at weekly rehearsals and at our yearly performances.  The FVSO plays a variety of orchestral literature, some of which can be challenging.  However, all interested musicians are encouraged to contact the Music Director, Jonathan Edward Colby, with any questions.

Members wishing to join are asked to attend a rehearsal where they sit beside one of our FVSO musicians, meet with the conductor and sometimes asked to play solo excerpts to demonstrate the knowledge of their instrument.
