Support the KSO

The KSO is known for the artistry heard on stage, but our work extends far beyond the concert hall. KSO musicians share music with communities across East Tennessee in ways that educate, connect, and inspire.

Your support makes possible:

  • Music education programs reaching more than 17,000 students.
  • Youth Ensembles serving more than 500 young musicians.
  • Free community concerts enjoyed by nearly 60,000 audience members.
  • Music & Wellness programs bringing live music to more than 6,000 individuals in healthcare settings.

 

Ticket sales cover a portion of our expenses, but it is philanthropic support from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners that allows the KSO to carry out its full mission. Every gift helps ensure that music continues on stage, in schools, and throughout our community.
