Founded in 2004 by leaders in Morris, Chase, Lyon, and Wabaunsee counties the Symphony in The Flint Hills is an ongoing, annual tradition. Jane Koger was the original inspiration for the project. Her original idea was for her 40th birthday party. Jane resided in Chase County and gathered those in her county for her celebration, calling it 'Symphony on The Prairie', Thanks to Jane being the inspiration, it is now called Symphony in The Flint Hills for all of the neighboring counties and for tourists. The Kansas City symphony has performed there for eight consecutive years and is expected to go on for the ninth year this upcoming summer. The event is held Fort Riley for one weekend in the summer in the month of July. 22 counties make up the Flint Hills, so you can make a weekend escape out of it. You can see the Symphony in The Flint Hills, as well as plan to visit other destinations in the neighboring counties on your weekend stay. If this interests you, tickets for the event in 2014 go on sale on April 5, 2014. You can purchase them through the KC Symphony box office or online at www.kcsymphony.org.
