The Spartanburg Philharmonic Youth Orchestra is pleased to welcome Stephan Fillare as a Guest Conductor for the Symphony Ensemble for the Fall Concert cycle of the 2026-2027 season!

Stephan Fillare, Director of Orchestral Activities at Furman University, believes the most memorable orchestral performances are born from trust. His work as a conductor is shaped by the conviction that when every musician feels invested in a shared artistic goal, an ensemble becomes more than the sum of its parts—listening more deeply, communicating more freely, and discovering new possibilities together.
