Founded in 1979, the Galveston Symphony Orchestra performs quality classical music with a strong commitment to artistic excellence and community involvement. Dedicated musicians from all parts of the Galveston-Houston area bring unforgettable live concert experiences to audiences. GSO’s new chamber ensemble is Fossekall, which features a Latin music/dance-inspired program that combines music, imagery, dance, and story-telling to produce an evening of pure magic. A “fossekall” is a plump little gray bird found along unpolluted rivers and streams, almost always near running water. With a repertoire of compositions ranging from the baroque to the contemporary, most concerts include internationally-famous soloists.
