Make Music Day Performance
FCSS will be participating in Make Music Day with a performance at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield. This global celebration of free, live music began in France in 1982 and now spans over 120 countries, with participating venues throughout Fairfield and Ridgefield. Expect to hear some pop and Broadway hits!
Collaborative Rehearsal with the Norwalk Gamer Symphony Orchestra
FCSS is excited to have a collaborative rehearsal with the Norwalk Gamer Symphony Orchestra (NGSO), a community ensemble that brings video game music to life through original orchestrations, many arranged by its own members. They’re typically short on strings, and we’re always glad to add winds and brass— so this partnership just makes sense! Let’s broaden our musical repertoire and try something new. Learn more about the NGSO at www.norwalkgso.org/
Holiday Open Rehearsal
Join us for our holiday open rehearsal, our final rehearsal of 2024, where we’ll celebrate the season with festive music and holiday treats! Come play, listen, or just enjoy the snacks and company. We hope to see you there!
