Farmington Valley Symphony Orchestra is one of Connecticut’s premier community orchestras dedicated to promoting musical excellence. We believe that classical music provides a magical experience that inspires, delights, and brings our community together.

Founded in 1981, the Farmington Valley Symphony Orchestra performs 6-7 concerts each season with a variety of classical, romantic and popular holiday favorites.  The orchestra serves Farmington, Canton, Avon, Simsbury, Burlington, Bloomfield, West Hartford & Hartford, as well as Greater Hartford and the Connecticut River Valley.  We are your local, civic orchestra and look forward to seeing you at one of our concerts!


Events

 
 
Please join the Farmington Valley Symphony as we honor the life and legacy of Janet Fantozzi (1953-2020), violinist with the FVSO and one of the Farmington district’s beloved music educators. We celebrate Ms. Fantozzi’s incredible dedication to music and sharing that appreciation with others young and old in Farmington and abroad. Janet Fantozzi is remembered especially by the many students who worked with her at the well known Farmington Summer Suzuki Academy, which she helped to establish.  This concert is proudly sponsored by the Alexander Franklin Foundation.

FVSO is grateful to be the recipient of grant funding from the CT Humanities and the CT Office of the Arts. These funds have been critical to the financial health of the orchestra, which, for two years, has had to cancel planned programs.
