Wichita Symphony Society

The Wichita Symphony presents live performances of symphonic music. A broad range of cultural, educational, and entertainment activities are planned each season that will reach and/or involve an estimated 100,000 kansans of all ages and economic means. Programs include traditional masterworks concerts, symphonic pops, family concerts, educational programming, and a free community concert at christmas. Public radio and occasional public television broadcasts reach thousands across the state. Small ensembles deliver short concerts to community-wide venues, producing a highly regarded outreach program.

The Wichita Symphony presents many educational programs throughout the season. These include two sets of young people's concerts for nearly 11,000 area students in third through eighth grade; a youth orchestras program with four different large ensembles, serving about 230 students in grades 4 through 12 from Kansas and northern Oklahoma; and a career training opportunity for qualified Wichita state graduate music students to perform in the professional Wichita Symphony while earning their masters degree.
