Audience outreach

The Kuopio Symphony Orchestra wants to introduce various audience groups to the world of music by organizing diverse concerts and special events. The main point of our audience outreach is to give artistic experiences but our purpose is also to increase public awareness and knowledge of orchestral music and other forms of art music as well as to develop people’s cultural competence.

The KSO audience education reaches thousands of children, teens and other audience groups requiring special attention every year in the Northern Savo region and the Eastern part of Finland. The orchestra’s ensembles and individual musicians visit daycare centers, nursery schools and schools, nursing homes for the elderly and the disabled as well as hospitals and even private homes. We also collaborate with so called rural popular assemblies operating in the municipal merger districts in order to produce guest concerts also in the outskirt areas of the city of Kuopio and the Northern Savo region. We offer daycare centers, schools and other educational institutions as well the elderly and groups with special needs such as the disabled opportunities to visit the Kuopio Music Centre and enjoy the KSO matinee concerts. We also invite the 7th graders to join the Music Path, part of the city’s goal-directed cultural education programme at comprehensive school.

The KSO also collaborates with local music classes and choirs as well as the students of the Lumit (the Kuopio Senior High School of Arts). Open rehearsals during the daytime and Meet the Artist -events before the evening concerts are open to the general public.
