The Calgary Community Orchestra was originally founded by Carlos Foggin in 2014 as a recreational ensemble for amateur musicians in Calgary, AB. In 2016, the CCO disbanded, and its members incorporated under the name Rocky Mountain Symphony Orchestra (RMSO), performing over 80 concerts across nearly 20 venues over the course of nine seasons, from 2016–2025.

In the summer of 2025, following Carlos Foggin’s retirement from the RMSO, the dormant Community Orchestra was revived and reimagined under the name MARQUIS MUSIC. Additional ensembles were conceived to give musicians greater flexibility to participate in the projects of their choice.

Marquis Music offers the following ensembles:

• Chamber Orchestra (upper-intermediate to professional)

• Opera Orchestra (advanced to professional)

• Social Orchestra (all levels - fun encouraged!)

• Chamber Choir (auditioned. Advanced)

Future Ensembles may include:

• Wind Ensemble

• Brass Choir

• Community Chorus
