Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra announces Lucas Wood as Executive Director

The Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra is excited to welcome Lucas Wood as its new Executive Director, effective June 1, 2025.

“I look forward to building on the rich history of the FMSO,” Wood explained of his acceptance of the position. “My husband, Jordan Holcomb, and I feel warmly welcomed in Fargo-Moorhead and we look forward to making it our home.” 

Wood joins the FMSO from the Galesburg Symphony Society & Knox-Galesburg Symphony (Illinois), where he has served as Executive Director for ten years. A Galesburg-area native with a background in opera performance and business development and management, Wood brings a wealth of experience in orchestra leadership and arts administration to the Fargo-Moorhead community.

“I’m excited to work with the staff, board, patrons, and the broader community to build a strong and sustainable future for the FMSO,” said Wood. “We will continue to deepen the orchestra’s ties to the region and keep presenting top-quality concerts.”

A press conference will be scheduled at a later date.
