COVID-19 Update: Due to the rise of coronavirus cases in Cumberland County, all in-person educational activities have been postponed until March 1st, pending metrics. This decision has been made for the safety of the kids, their families, and the FSO staff. All current members in our educational activities will be notified mid to late February regarding the continuation or discontinuation of in-person educational activities for the remainder of the spring term. That information will also be posted online here.
The Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra Kids Club, for kids age 4-13, helps connect children in the community with the Symphony through exclusive events and learning opportunities.
