The Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra and Music Director and Conductor Kirk Muspratt unveiled the 2019-2020 Season. The season consists of 5 concerts, 2 classical and 3 pops, as well as the annual Concert with Courses Gala.
“I promise each of you a season of your most requested favorites,” said Maestro Muspratt. “Please join us for a spectacular 78th season!”
After a season of following the music to a number of local venues, the Symphony is happy to announce we have a new home. The Auditorium at Living Hope Church, 9000 Taft Street, on the Merrillville/Crown Point border is the new home.
