Flower Mound Community Orchestras

As part of its mission to bring music enjoyment and education to all ages and elements of the community, the FMCO includes two educational orchestras. The Preparatory Orchestra (since 1997) and the Progressive Orchestra (since 2001) are unique in that their memberships include children, youth and adult amateur musicians. This creative environment allows multi-generational families to participate together in performing orchestras.

Because they are educational in nature and structure, the Flower Mound Preparatory and Progressive Orchestras provide a venue for beginner and intermediate musicians to develop and hone their skills while gaining opportunities to perform arrangements from the classical and popular orchestral repertoire.

The tiered structure of the Flower Mound Community Orchestras provides an environment where musicians can successfully advance through the ranks as they develop their skills. Our Preparatory Orchestra members regularly advance to our Progressive Orchestra, and many of our former Progressive Orchestra members now perform with our adult, professional level Symphony Orchestra!

Our orchestras hold frequent seasonal concerts that are free to the public.
