2025 marks the 90th Anniversary of Making Music, the organisation which provides resources and support for leisure-time music groups across the country. FSO joined Making Music in the late 1950s when it was called the National Federation of Music Societies. As part of their 90th anniversary celebrations, they decided to speak to some of their long-standing member groups about their history, their impact, and their hopes for the future. Peter Birkett, former Chairman of the FSO, was interviewed by a representative of Making Music and the resulting article about Farnborough Symphony Orchestra’s story of community, continuity and ambition can be found here.
