Fresno Summer Orchestra Academy (FOOSA) brings together young musicians from the Fresno area through a collaboration between the Youth Orchestras of Fresno (YOOF) and California State University, Fresno. FOOSA runs three ensembles—FOOSA Philharmonic, FOOSA Symphony, and FOOSA Chamber Orchestra—offering a two-week immersive experience with daily rehearsals, masterclasses, and a professional recording session. The festival culminates in a concert series in mid to late June, with key performances at Fresno venues and notable engagements in Los Angeles. FOOSA has earned recognition for high-level performances and a growing role in the regional arts scene, supported by grants from the CA Arts Council and YOOF.
