This season we begin our next 25 years of concerts and events brought to the citizens of Ponca City! Experience the majesty of Carl Orf’s masterpiece, Carmina Burana, with the OSU Orchestra and Chorale. It’s homecoming for jazz singer Katy Bourne, and we welcome back the swinging sounds of The Great Big Band, from our neighbor to the south, Perry, OK. Continuing the tradition of great guitarists, is Steven King. In partnership with the Library’s Summer Reading program, we host the “Sing Along Slumber Party” with Monty Harper. This is an exciting season!
 

 

Performers will also appear in area schools and senior living centers.
