About FVS » Musicians & Conductor
Brian Groner has been music director of the Fox Valley Symphony since 1995. He is also the conductor of the symphony session at the Birch Creek Music Performance Center in Door County and has recently been chosen as the music director of the Harper Symphony Orchestra in Illniois.

As an active guest conductor,he has appeared on the podium for many notable ensembles including the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, the San Diego Symphony, the Chicago Sinfonietta, the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and has toured with the Moscow Classical Ballet.

His concerts have been featured on satellite broadcasts by National Public Radio in over 50 major radio markets across the nation. A recent review stated, "Much of the credit goes to Brian Groner, whose work with the Fox Valley Symphony is well known and much celebrated. Groner has the ability to invite his players into that state of mind that separates the exceptional conductor from the merely competent."
