partnering with our schools
Through the continued partnership with the Kenosha Unified School District, the KSO presented its annual Youth Concerts of age-appropriate live symphonic performances designed to “inspire minds” through expanding musical knowledge and cultural awareness. These concerts are also made free to all who attend. The KSO is striving to contribute to the community through high-quality, multi-dimensional music experiences. With an exciting year planned, and a greater expansion of public performances and youth-centric programming, all are invited to join the KSO in spreading the joy of live symphonic music within our community.
As we celebrate our 85th season, we want to thank our loyal sponsors and ongoing Kenosha community partners!
