As membership grew, the group incorporated in the mid-1970's under its current name. Rehearsals moved from Marion to Red Jacket High School, and then to the Canandaigua Middle School. FLSO performance venues include area colleges and high schools, wineries, lakeside and lawn concerts, area churches, the Smith Opera House, and the Old Sodus Point Lighthouse. The roster of 80-plus members is comprised of a diverse group, including professionals of many vocations, musicians, and students in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes areas.
