City of Fremantle Symphony Orchestra

The Orchestra

The City of Fremantle Symphony is an amateur orchestra and one of Perth’s most vibrant community groups.
The group originated in 1961 with the formation of the Melville Orchestral Society. In 1993 following an agreement with the City of Fremantle the orchestra took on its current name.

The orchestra is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of music in the cultural life of Perth.
With a regular membership of about 60 amateur musicians we present about 5 concerts each year including a subscription series of concerts at the Fremantle Town Hall and performances in other venues around Perth. In recent years the orchestra has toured to Albany, Busselton and Margaret River.

The orchestra takes great pride in presenting orchestral music from the baroque, classical, romantic and 20th century periods at a high standard. We regularly work with prominent local conductors, soloists and composers.
