The 10^th anniversary of Symphony in the Flint Hills is less than a month away, but it’s not too late to join in the fun on Saturday, June 13. Reserved seats and transportation have been secured. All you need are comfortable shoes and a desire to hear beautiful music in a gorgeous setting. This year’s event is at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Chase County, which was the location when the event debuted in 2006. Performing with the Kansas City Symphony in honor of this milestone year is special guest artist Lyle Lovett, a four-time Grammy award winner.

Transportation will depart from the Village entrance at 2 p.m., allowing some time at the concert site to enjoy the festival prior to the concert at 6:45 p.m. Visit the instrument petting zoo, hear a discussion in one of the heritage and culture tents, listen to strolling musicians or take a covered wagon ride. Food and beverages are available for purchase on your own. 

The package price offered by Meadowlark Hills, including a ticket, reserved seat and transportation, will be $110 per person, depending on the number of participants. Register for this event by signing up in the Blue Book, located at the Hospitality Desk. Residents, Passport members, board members and their friends and families are welcome. If you’ve been the Symphony in the Flint Hills before, you know what a delightful experience this is. If you haven’t attended previously, the signature event festival organizers have planned to celebrate the 10^th anniversary promises to be a fantastic introduction.
