75 Years of Song: A History of the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra In-Person
Join us for a captivating journey through time as we celebrate 75 years of the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra. From its humble beginnings in 1899 when a group of women, led by Emma Babbitt, sponsored programs in the opera house on the second floor of the Babbitt building, to becoming a cornerstone of cultural heritage in Northern Arizona, this talk explores the rich history, transformative performances, and enduring impact of the FSO. Delve into the stories behind the music, the visionaries who shaped its legacy, and the community that has cherished its music-making for generations. Though the orchestra changed its name several times over the past seventy-five years, its vision has remained the same: to share beauty and inspire joy; to create meaningful experiences for families, friends, and neighbors; and to help cultivate generations of artists, educators, and leaders through its music education programs.
