Not sure you're ready for the FCS group? Check out a sample of the music from one of our recent concerts HERE. The music samples provided represent the most advanced literature performed by Fermi Community Strings. Most of our repertoire, however, is lighter and more approachable, offering an enjoyable and challenging experience for musicians at a variety of levels. We are committed to encouraging one another to learn and grow in a supportive atmosphere!
Fermi Community Orchestra: Sundays, 6:30-9:00pm (includes a 15-minute break)
The Fall 2026 session includes Sunday evening rehearsals starting in September with a concert on November 8, 2026.

About Session Fees
The Fermi Community Orchestra and the Fermi Community Strings are volunteer adult ensembles funded entirely by the contributions of its members. We rely on these contributions to provide the tools and facilities to rehearse and perform free concerts to the community, invite guest artists, and bring in top professional instrumental clinicians for specialized training.
The Fermi Community Orchestra will never turn away any interested musician due to financial hardship.
Our Location...
The Fermi Community Orchestra and Fermi Community Strings meet on Sundays at:
Batavia United Methodist Church
8 North Batavia Ave
Batavia, Illinois 60510
