The Fourth Annual Symphony in the Flint Hills Concert will be held on June 13 in a new 2009 concert location on the Tallgrass Prairie near Florence, Kansas.

We look forward to welcoming journalists to visit the magnificent Flint Hills for an afternoon and evening of pure delight. The afternoon will offer a wide range of experiences to enhance your knowledge and enjoyment of the Kansas Flint Hills. The evening will be filled with beautiful music celebrating the landscape, as only music can do.
