Led by Maestro Enrique Diemecke, the Flint Symphony Orchestra performs a variety of concerts throughout the year, including classical concerts, Holiday Pops, and the Nutcracker.

Since 1957, the Flint Youth Theatre has offered a range of classes and programs year-round for elementary and secondary school children, including the Learning Through Theatre series and InterACT. Made up of a string quartet and a storyteller from the Flint Institute of Music, the Troubadors group visits elementary schools and helps weaves music lessons into the school's curriculum. In addition, FIM holds a number of annual special events, including a fundraising dinner, a gala, and an auction.
