Its size ranges from 40 to 60 musicians, depending on the requirements of the literature being prepared. The orchestra performs standard and popular repertoire from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The KSO performs three or four concerts each academic year, including occasional pops and children's concerts.
Membership is by audition.
Directed by Dr. Jeffrey Bell-Hanson. The Wind Symphony is a select group of woodwind, brass, and percussion players dedicated to the study and performance of windband repertoire. The group performs two or three concerts each year and sometimes tours during Spring Break. The Wind Symphony has recently added an exciting dimension with a new, informal look and a theatrical approach to programming. Elements of drama and comedy have been added to its performances of great music to create entertainment rather than just concerts.
