The Free State Symphony Orchestra is an autonomous body registered as a not-for-profit (Section 21) company. The transition from being “owned” and managed by PACOFS for decades to becoming almost entirely self-reliant is as challenging as all major change processes are. We know that our continued survival depends on how well we can adapt to the real demands made by our supporters and how rapidly we can address the expectations you have of your own symphony orchestra.

Yes, the FSSO belongs to you. As such, the orchestra can only survive with your active involvement, participation and support. We would very much like to become an integral part of your social and cultural life. We know that this can only happen if we change our approach and if we can become successful in fulfilling your expectations of us. The truth is that we do not exactly know what those expectations are. Most importantly, we can only know if you tell us.

The purpose of this website is to create a platform to exchange information and ideas; we provide you, our supporters, with information on our concerts, activities and coming events and you can tell us what you want and how you think we can become better at what we love to do – creating beautiful live music for you to enjoy. While we would appreciate you sharing what you don't like about the orchestra, it would be much more helpful if you could also tell us how you would like us to improve.

Please send our website address to your friends to extend our invitation to become part of the interactive FSSO community.
