Our Mission

The Temple Symphony Orchestra's mission is to entertain, to educate and to enrich the cultural life of Central Texas.
This mission is supported by providing a broad repertoire of live music performances of the highest artistic standard to a wide and diverse audience and by educating students and adults about our rich musical traditions.

Artistic Director...

The Temple Symphony has released two recordings, the second of which features internationally renowned trumpeter Allen Vizzutti. Additionally, Mr. Fairlie was the co-founder and musical director of the Larimer Youth Festival Orchestra in Ft. Collins, Colorado (now the Youth Orchestra of the Rockies), and was the musical director and conductor of that organization for five seasons. Mr. Fairlie has also guest conducted the Youth Orchestra of the Rockies and conducted the Louisiana All-State Orchestra in November, 2007. He has guest conducted professional orchestras in Ft. Collins, Colorado and four separate concerts with the Lake Charles Symphony in Louisiana. His latest venture was founding the Fort Collins Chamber Music society in during the summer of 2011 and he conducted on its inaugural concert last July. He is currently serving as its artistic director.

Mr Fairlie is also the Director of the Division of Fine Arts at Temple College, where he has been employed since 1990. He founded the Temple Jazz Orchestra in 1990, and the Temple Jazz Festival, which is one of the most successful jazz festivals in Texas, in 1991. Under Mr. Fairlie's direction, the Temple Jazz Orchestra has received critical acclaim for its five recordings (including two with Bill Watrous and one with Gordon Goodwin), and has performed for the International Association for Jazz Education international conference in New York, the Texas Bandmaster's Association annual conference and other regional conferences and festivals. TJO has also collaborated with the Temple Symphony for several concerts. The Temple Jazz Orchestra was invited to perform at three prestigious jazz festivals in Europe during the summer of 2009 including Jazz a Vienn, Montreaux and the North Sea Jazz festival where they appeared with trumpeter Randy Brecker. TJO returned to Europe during the summer of 2012 with performances for the general assembly of the United Nations in Geneva and in Vienna among others.

Mr Fairlie was also one of the founding members of the Central Texas Jazz Society and is it's artistic director. A frequent invitee for conducting honor groups including band, jazz ensemble, and orchestra, Mr. Fairlie has been an active clinician throughout the United States since 1975.
