ABOUT THE FINGER LAKES SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
The Finger Lakes Symphony Orchestra (FLSO) was established in 1972. This community group of volunteer musicians decided to bring excellent classical and pops music to the adjoining counties of Ontario, Wayne, Yates and Seneca. The FLSO has also performed in Monroe County at the Hochstein Auditorium, and plays regularly in Ithaca when accompanying the Ithaca Ballet performing "The Nutcracker" Ballet. The orchestra is led by Music Director and Conductor S. Shade Zajac and Concert Master Meghan O'Keefe.
