Check out what music critic Donald Munro had to say in his review of the FOOSA Philharmonic’s 2022 concert:

Loewenheim is famous for picking difficult repertory for his students. He doesn’t hold back…

On the night of the concert, the orchestra sounds crisp, confident and astute.
— Donald Munro

Munro also spent time with two of our musicians. Take a look at his article and get a sneak peak backstage at how FOOSA works.

It’s very, very special. I would say it’s on a world-class level of musical accomplishment.
— Lynn Harrell, legendary cellist and former FOOSA faculty member
