Kentucky Symphony presents: Primitive Pop

August 30, 2025 7:30 PM - August 30, 2025 9:30 PM

The KSO’s Boogie Band recalls the 3 decades of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, when (prior to smart phones) music was personally transported via hand held radios and cassette players.  It was also a time when music meant melody. Think Percy Faith – The 5th Dimension; Three Dog Night – Queen and Yes — B52s. Bring the grandkids and feed them some real tunes. 

Admission is free, contributions encouraged.

Seniors and others who wish to avoid crowds are invited to attend the Saturday 10:00 a.m. dress rehearsal
