America’s Story at 250 Years with Chris Bradley

OCTOBER 24, 2026 | 7:00 PM | CHENERY AUDITORIUM

To open our 65th season, the KCB will present moments in our nation’s 250-year history through music—both instrumental and vocal, visual imagery, and stories. Assisting the KCB with this celebration will be Chris Bradley, a Scottish conductor and Scotland’s most heralded cornet soloist. To add vocals to several pieces, the Kalamazoo Community Chorale and the Kalamazoo Male Chorus will join the Chenery stage. Honoring the brave and the sacrificing, there will be music to move you and events to cheer. It will be a celebration in music to remember.
