Wichita Symphony Orchestra
Music is available to us at all times, but when you come into the Concert Hall to hear symphonic music by a live orchestra, something amazing happens - you become part of the magic. Our notes mix with your thoughts, your memories, and in turn they shape the meaning of what we play. The orchestra and the audience work together to create a moment that will never happen again. And, as is true with most things in life, these moments are most special when they are shared.
