The #FSSO bids farewell to the loyal and longest serving staff member Ella Kotze, who served the orchestra diligently for over 15 years as Administrator and Organizing Officer. We wish her all the best for her future endeavors, it was a great pleasure to have worked with such a beautiful, caring and humble soul, who was the heart of the #FSSO. Ella will be missed dearly by the board, management, friends, patrons, orchestra members and classical music community for her invaluable contribution and selfless service over the years.

Looking back at #TheMerryWidow' production which was the result of an amazing and unique collaborative spirit between the #FSSO and the Odeion School of Music OSM, UFS. The production was a South African adaptation of this famous operetta which highlighted and celebrates our own cultural norms and customs, simultaneously encapsulating the spirit of Ubuntu throughout the performing arts. #Music #Education #Development
