History:
Editha Todd Leonard founded the all-volunteer Fort Collins Orchestra in 1923. Following a break during WWII, Colorado State University music professor Wilfred Schwartz revitalized the dormant orchestra in 1949. By the 1980s, the Fort Collins Symphony turned professional, began paying its musicians and staff, and today employs over 50 professional musicians. After 50 years of service, Maestro Schwartz retired as conductor in 1999. In 2003, the FCS and CSU Music Department jointly hired Maestro Wes Kenney. Currently, he serves as Music Director of the Fort Collins Symphony, CSU Symphony Orchestra, and the Denver Young Artists Orchestra. Kenney is also a guest conductor with orchestras around the world. Under his leadership, the FCS has been recognized for diverse programming, the wealth of world-renowned guest artists, and success in keeping the FCS musicians employed and the community engaged during the COVID pandemic.
