The 2013 concert season is over, and the Conductor Search Committee is busy in its deliberations of our five extraordinary Music Director Finalists: George Hanson, Christopher Zimmerman, David Itkin, Darryl One, and Kelly Corcoran.

We would like to thank all of you for your engagement in this exciting process - your input is very valuable as we work to determine who will be the best fit for the orchestra in the years to come.

Thanks, also, to the community partners who graciously hosted appearances by our candidates:

  • Rotary West of Fargo and Moorhead Rotary Club
  • Microsoft
  • NDSU, MSUM, and Concordia College
  • The high school orchestras of Fargo, West Fargo and Moorhead public school districts
  • Horizon Middle School's 8th Grade Orchestra (Brian Cole, director)
  • The Arts Partnership
  • Studio 222 and FMSO's Urban Overture
  • Hotel Donaldson (host of Board/Donor socials)
  • Fargo Public Library (host of informal candidate/Board meetings)

Particular thanks to Prairie Public Television, who produced mini-documentaries of each candidate. A final half-hour show, featuring all five candidates, will be aired soon.

A public announcement will be made at the beginning of June, followed soon after by an announcement of programming for the 2013-14 concert season. See you at the Symphony!
