For more than 20 years, the FSO has had Music Director and Conductor, Maestro Enrique Diemecke at its helm. He takes time from his busy schedule as Music Director and Conductor of the Long Beach Symphony (CA) and the Buenos Aires Philharmonic at the Teatro Colon as well as guest conducting with orchestras around the world to come to Flint. And during that time he has developed a rapport with both audiences and musicians that is nothing less than extraordinary. Through his outstanding leadership and musical excellence, the FSO and Maestro Diemecke have developed a strong and loyal following throughout southeastern Michigan rivaled by few other orchestras its size.

Many musicians travel more than 100 miles and balance hectic schedules to perform with the FSO like Concermaster Andrew Jennings (left), who also serves as violinist of the Concord Piano Trio, professor of violin and chamber music at the University of Michigan and Oberlin College, artist faculty and as co-chair of chamber music at Tanglewood Music Center.

Part of FSO's appeal is its innovativeness in programming. Regularly, the orchestra performs music that challenges and inspires musicians and audience members alike.
