Knoxville Symphony Orchestra announces community concerts

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is set to hold a series of community concerts next month. The concerts will include a 40th anniversary World’s Fair special.

Most shows will be free, with the exception of Loudon’s show at the Tennessee National Amphitheater.

“The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s mission is to reach East Tennessee audiences of all ages by providing excellence in musical performance,” Mario Lopez, KSO Director of Education and Community Partnerships said. “We hope that you can join us at one of our four outdoor performances this May!”
