About the KSA

Kishwaukee Symphony Associates

The Kishwaukee Symphony Associates is the volunteer service organization for the Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Founded in 1983, the KSA is committed to supporting the artistic, educational, and financial goals of the KSO. They also strive to increase community awareness and concert attendance. In 2001, they established the KSO Endowment Fund through the DeKalb County Community Foundation to help ensure the orchestra’s future. The KSA enhanced their mission, in 2019, by establishing the Music Education Outreach Fund through the KSO to help deserving students in DeKalb County middle schools with their music education. Membership in KSA is one way to support these important efforts.
