An orchestral salute to great stories and a “Meet The Instruments” event for young children will be the featured attractions in Morehead on Sunday, Feb. 23, when the Cave Run Symphony Orchestra continues its 11th full season with a concert entitled “Symphonic Stories” at 3 p.m. in the Morehead Conference Center.
It will be the CRSO’s third performance of the 2024-25 season and will be preceded by a special event at 1:30 p.m. to introduce elementary school students to the instruments of the orchestra. Students and accompanying adults from local schools have been invited to be CRSO guests for the concert.
“We are pleased to present another great concert and to introduce a new generation of local citizens to the instruments that create the beauty of orchestral music,” said Dr. Craig Burrows, CRSO board chair.
The instrument event goes from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the front lobby of the MCC. Hosting will be Dr. Michele Paise, professor of music, and music education students from Morehead State University.
The 60-piece orchestra is operated by the Cave Run Symphony Orchestra Society, Inc., a non-profit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501 ©(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Gifts to the CRSO are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Gifts are received at PO Box 441, Morehead, or at the door of each concert.
“The orchestra is underwritten by gifts, sponsorships, program book advertising, and ticket sales and we welcome support at any time of the year,” Burrows added.
Adult tickets are $15 and are available for the Feb. 23 and April 6 concerts at the Morehead Visitor Center or online at crsomusic.org. Cash or checks will be accepted for payment at the Visitor Center.
Concert tickets can be purchased at the MCC with cash, checks, credit or debit cards. Children and students of all ages are admitted free of charge.
Morehead is proud to be the smallest city in Kentucky with a community-supported symphony orchestra.
