The Fairfield County Symphony Society was founded in June 1976 by Florence Saunders, Ardis Carlton, and Virginia Pukilla, with John Swartz serving as the inaugural musical director. Since its inception, FCSS has provided a welcoming space for musicians to come together and share their love of great music. With over 25 active members, we collaborate with a variety of talented soloists, including young musicians and vocal artists, and occasionally invite wind and brass players to join us. We continue to thrive under the leadership of our current musical director, Gunnar Sahlin, a long-time cellist with the Norwalk Symphony. Thanks to the generosity of Temple Shalom in Norwalk, we rehearse every Tuesday night at 7:30. New members are always welcome—just bring your instrument!
