The KSO will present a FREE concert of music with a Halloween theme and appropriate for children and adults. There will be trick-or-treating a half hour before the 5:30 concert.

Each year, the KSO presents a concert, not open to the general public, that is specifically for 3rd-, 4th, and 5th-grade students and their teachers from elementary schools in our region.

This program is partially supported by local business and by a grant from the Rockford Area Arts Council which receives support from the City of Rockford, the Illinois Arts Council and its members.

Let the KSO warm your hearts with the music of the holiday season. Many holiday favorites including Haydn's Toy Symphony and a seasonal sing-a-long are included in this traditional family concert.  Who knows, maybe the “Big Guy in Red” will make an appearance…..?

This concert is sponsored in part by WNIJ.
