Frequently Asked Questions
How much experience is needed to join?
For community members with an intermediate to advanced level of playing, we recommend 5+ years of formal instruction before joining the FCO String Orchestra. Youth beginner classes require zero experience. Eventually, we hope to be able to offer an adult beginner opportunity.
Do you provide instrument rentals?
At this time, we do not have instruments available for rental or use, but we can assist students and community members in connecting with a reputable music shop that will help.
What is a community orchestra?
Our group differs from a civic orchestra in that we offer a string ensemble for the members of our community or all ages who wish to strengthen their music performance skills.
How often does the community orchestra meet?
Our terraced string ensemble will meet twice per month on Sundays in the evening.
How many concerts does FCO perform each year?
We plan to have four concerts per year that include a Christmas performance, a May concert, a summer concert and the Van der Stucken Festival featuring guest musicians from across the state of Texas.
