Symphony in the Flint Hills Saturday

Saturday at Rosalia Ranch

The Symphony in the Flint Hills signature event will take place Saturday at Rosalia Ranch in Butler County.
In 1994, Matfield Green rancher Jane Koger celebrated her birthday by inviting the public to a "Symphony on the Prairie." More than 3,000 people from far and wide congregated at her Homestead Ranch for a magical union between symphonic music and the prairie landscape.
Ten years after Jane Koger's legendary birthday concert, Chase, Lyon, Morris and Wabaunsee County leaders founded Symphony in the Flint Hills, Inc. to heighten the appreciation and knowledge of the tallgrass prairie. In 2006, the organization held the first of its annual prairie concerts, a Kansas tradition that now attracts approximately 7,000 attendees from all over the world.
This is the second time for the event to be held in Butler County.
The theme of the 2018 Signature Event is water. The event will explore the natural, cultural and structural elements of water in the Flint Hills region. Each year, the Symphony in the Flint Hills Field Journal features in-depth articles and beautiful illustrations that commemorate the event's theme.  Field Journals are available for purchase at: http://shop.symphonyintheflinthills.org/category/field-journals/
A Tales of Butler County story “The Lost Town of Providence” by Butler County Times-Gazette Managing Editor Belinda Larsen, is one of the featured stories in this year’s Flint Hills Field Journal.
