Description:
Founded in 1944, the Wichita Symphony Orchestra is one of the oldest arts organizations in Kansas. During its 67 years of existence, the orchestra's mission has been to provide the state with the highest quality musical presentations for as many different audiences as possible. The largest and most active performing arts organization in the state, the orchestra has been nationally recognized for i...ts artistic level and for the community support it receives.
Approximately 84 musicians regularly play in the orchestra on a part-time basis. Many are on the faculty at Wichita State University, while others retain positions in the public schools and other industries throughout the community.
The mainstay of the orchestra's annual activities is the 8-concert Classical subscription series. Other programs include the virtually sold-out Pops concerts, a "Blue Jeans" concert and two special, free, citywide presentations The Spirit of Christmas Family Holiday Concert in December and the Koch Industries Twilight Pops Concert in May. The orchestra's educational activities include the Young People's Concerts for grades three through six, the in-school KinderConcerts for kindergarten through second-grade and sponsorship of three Youth Orchestras. The orchestra also shares its cultural resources throughout the state, having performed in over 50 Kansas communities.
