Mission compass
The mission of New Horizons Orchestra Fox Valley is to provide music education, training, and performance opportunities for adults of any age and at any stage of musical experience without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or socio-economic status.  The orchestra aspires to create music to the best of its ability, to encourage individual achievement playing a stringed instrument, to foster social interaction within the group and the community, and to provide community musical performances.

There is never a “try-out;” never an “audition”!  You are welcome to join our orchestra no matter where you are in your musical journey— even if you’re just learning to play.  You will find competent musical leadership, inspiring teaching and a friendly group of fellow musicians who all share your appreciation of music and string instruments.

“Being able to come together with others to make music each week is doing more for my mental health and well being than anything a doctor could give me.”  (orchestra member)
