Florence Symphony Orchestra

The Florence Symphony Orchestra came into being in the spring of 1949. A call for volunteers to form a community band has lead to over half a century of crowd-pleasing performances with four concerts a season. As it prepares to move into the new Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center, the symphony will expand to five concerts in the coming season. The symphony also operates the Florence Symphony Youth Orchestra. With the support of the Florence Symphony Guild, the Florence Symphony Orchestra enriches the cultural quality of Florence and the surrounding areas.
