Since 2013, the fso has been consistently recognized by the flagstaff arts council as a nominee for excellence in the performing arts category at the annual community awards for the arts and sciences (the viola awards). Fso is supported by a volunteer board of directors and volunteer auxiliary, the flagstaff symphony guild, with more than 100 members.
