Fenton, MI — February 6, 2020
Looking for that special evening to take your Valentine to. How about a night out with the Fenton Community Orchestra.
This season Fenton Community Orchestra is celebrating its tenth anniversary of being part of this inspiring community. Join our talented musicians and Fall in Love with the FCO this Valentine’s Day. The concert begins at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, February 14, in the Fenton High School Ruby Zima Auditorium. Admission is $10.
FCO’s Symphony Orchestra will perform a variety of classical and movie music under
the baton of our beloved, Grammy-nominated music educator, composer, and conductor
Andrew David Perkins said FCO Manager Tetyana Clark. “Attendees will also have a
chance to enter to win various prizes, including gift cards to local restaurants and
businesses.”
Founded in 2010, the mission of the FCO is to provide a place for musicians of all ages to
connect through music and offer a fun and educational program for both our members and
community. “Over the past 10 years, we’ve grown from 30 musicians in 2010 to over 120 musicians today across our three community ensembles: FCO’s Symphony Orchestra, Simply Strings, and Prelude String Orchestra and performed for over 30,000 patrons and community members,” said Eric Szczepanski, FCO Chairman of the Board. “We’d like to thank our community and local businesses for supporting our commitment to enriching the performing arts with concerts in local schools, senior centers, and community events.”
