Visiting El Dorado County
Are you planning a trip to the Sierra Nevada to go skiing? Will you be in the area visiting some of our many wineries? How about looking for a Christmas Tree in Apple Hill? If so, also enjoy a wonderful afternoon or evening treat with the Sierra Symphony.
The Symphony
The Sierra Symphony is made up of local musicians from El Dorado County, Amador County and Sacramento County. The symphony performs several concerts a year, usually in Placerville, California.
Symphony Under the Direction of Roy Fulmer, Jr.
Mr. Fulmer received a B.A. in Music from California State College at Long Beach in 1969. He studied saxophone with Ralph Gari, Leo Potts and Leon Maxey. Roy then studied conducting with H. Robert Reynolds, Charles Yates and Don Wilcox.
Roy received a M.A. in Instruction and Curriculum from Chapman College.
Roy began his teaching career (1970-2006) as the Band Director at Ponderosa and El Dorado High Schools in 1970-71.
