Voices of Inspiration: What Our Community is Saying About Us
When my friend and I attended the 2022 Holiday Brass Quintet mini concert at Grace United Methodist Church we didn’t really know what to expect with just brass instruments because we are used to hearing all instruments performing holiday music. We were pleasantly surprised and left with a wonderful holiday feeling! The musicians went out of their way to encourage audience participation which really made this mini concert an awesome experience. I admire these musicians for being so versatile not only with their instruments but with their skills in getting the audience to open up. There was much laughter as well as some well-known holiday sing-a-long music. Very enjoyable!!!
I have enjoyed attending the symphony events the past several years due to the great music performed by fantastic musicians.
The String Quartet No. 3 and Serenade No. 1 were amazing! I enjoyed a lovely evening full of wonderful music with my husband.
I always love listening to the excellent live music of the Kokomo Symphony Orchestra. They always perform such beautiful music that pleases and satisfies the soul.
I enjoy classical music and learned about some composers I was not previously familiar with. Thank you for a beautiful concert!
Although I wasn’t already familiar with much of the music I heard, I enjoyed it so much. The tickets were gifted to me because of my love of music. It was a beautiful experience.
I’m so glad we came. I was very intrigued by the minimalism. Thank you, we had a wonderful date night!
My friend invited me to tonight’s performance, and I’m so glad I came. I loved it! Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories of familiar music.
I was excited to hear the strings. I’d never heard of minimalism in classical music, but it was so interesting. I loved hearing music from some great movies. Thank you for a very enjoyable concert!
Thank you for bringing this experience to Kokomo. I enjoy live classical music performances, and I’m so happy I came.

The 2022 Holiday TV Dinner Fundraiser was a super enjoyable event for my family and friends that were at my table. We all ranged in ages from 60+ all the way to my 8-year old granddaughter. It was so much fun for all of us to play the Christmas movie themed trivia game and learn what we didn’t know about some of the movies we’ve seen over and over. The area set up to take holiday pictures was so pretty and the selection of silent auction baskets was amazing!
