About the Performers

Founded in 1971, the Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra (KSO) is the Upper Peninsula’s oldest orchestra and one of five symphony orchestras in the Lake Superior region. The KSO is a college-community ensemble composed of Michigan Tech students, faculty and staff, and community musicians. The orchestra performs four to five concerts per year—including orchestral masterworks, choral-orchestral, music theatre, ballet, opera, and pops—in the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts. The KSO is led by Dr. Joel Neves.

Meet the performers, creative team, and production team in the event's digital program. Programs are published at least one day prior to the event.
