The Fermanagh Intermediate String Orchestra is open to all pupils who play string instruments in Post Primary Schools.

Weekly rehearsals take place in Mount Lourdes GS Main Assembly Hall after school on Thursdays, 3.45pm-4.45pm.

Repertoire is varied and challenging and from many different styles and genres; from well-known baroque and classical masterpieces right through to popular music from the stage and screen.

The FISO perform in two concerts per year; one around Christmas (in St. Michael’s College GS) and another at the end of the Spring term, normally in The Ardhowen Theatre.
