Roy Cockrum Chamber Series: Bach & Bluegrass 2026

Roy Cockrum Chamber Series brings the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra into an intimate setting, trading large symphonic forces for the expressive clarity of chamber music. The curated programs spotlight the ensemble's versatility, performed at the Bijou Theatre for a close-up listening experience.

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra has long been a cornerstone of the region's cultural life—one of the Southeast's oldest continuing orchestras, with a legacy that includes a Kennedy Center appearance at the SHIFT Festival of American Orchestras and a thriving youth orchestra. Under its current music director, the KSO continues to pair seasoned artistry with fresh programming.
