appearance for the 2017 Symphony In The Flint Hills iconic event are far
outpacing last year and there are only a handful remaining, according
to Gwen Shirkey, Director of Engagement for the organization.
“Duringthe walk-up ticket sales box office day on March 4th, we experienced
more foot traffic in Wichita than last year, and doubled ticket sales
there,” Shirkey said. “In Kansas City, the phone lines were booked until
3pm and then ticket sales continued online, outpacing sales from last
year at this time. We continue to sell tickets at a rapid daily pace,
and the event is expected to sell out completely.”
More
than 5,000 are expected at the event scheduled for Saturday, June 10 at
the beautiful Deer Horn Ranch (331 Broadway St., Cottonwood Falls, KS)
at sunset. For ticket information, call 816-471-0400 or visit http://shop.symphonyintheflinthills.org/category/tickets/

For
Murphey, participating in this year’s event is exciting for several
reasons. “Of course I love the chance to play with the Kansas City
Symphony,” said Murphey, who is a self-professed Western History
junkie. “It’s also a chance for me to join in the celebration of the
150th Anniversary of the Chisholm Trail that brought cattle from Texas
to Kansas in the years following the Civil War. This is a very important
part of our country’s history.”

“We
recently had a glimpse into the musical selection that will be
performed by the Kansas City Symphony and by Michael Martin Murphey,”

touch Michael is giving to this year’s event, a celebration of 150 years
of the Chisholm Trail and his authentic, inspirational tribute to the
grasslands and culture of the Flint Hills.”
