Corporate Partnerships

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is proud to be the oldest continuously performing orchestra in the Southeast—an enduring part of the cultural fabric that makes Knoxville a vibrant place to live and work. Now entering our 90th season, the KSO continues to connect our community through the power of live symphonic music, reaching audiences of all ages in concert halls, classrooms, hospitals, and public spaces across East Tennessee.
