The 12th Annual FHSU Honor Orchestra Festival is a major string festival comprised of the best and brightest aspiring high-school string players from around the Kansas region. Sponsored by the FHSU string faculty and the Hays Symphony Orchestra, the Kansas Honor String Orchestra at FHSU provides an opportunity for string players to engage in first-rate music making and get the best orchestral instruction available from FHSU faculty.

The two-day weekend includes intensive rehearsals, sectionals led by FHSU faculty, and a performance with FHSU orchestra students and faculty. Performances take place in the state of the art performing facility, Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center, located on the FHSU campus.

The 12th Annual FHSU Honor Orchestra Festival at FHSU will be held on February 1st and 2nd, 2008.

This year’s soloist is Matt Means, Professor of Violin and Viola at FHSU.
