It's been two years since the Knox-Galesburg Symphony had a full season. But they announced their 70th concert season this weekend which begins in October. And with the new season brings a new conductor and new venues. KGS says this season has been "reimagined" to try to reach more residents of Galesburg and the surrounding communities. They're moving their Masterworks Concerts to the brand new, state-of-the-art Hegg Performing Arts Center at Galesburg High School. KGS Executive Director Lucas Wood says that "aside from operational benefits, rehearsing and performing at the high school will give numerous opportunities to connect with local students through internships with the orchestra." There are also several "Pay What You Can" community concerts planned. Kedrick Armstrong was appointed as a Creative Partner and will also serve as Principal Conductor of the Symphony through June 2025. Creative Partners are a new position created by the KGS Boar
