Craft Music at Bell’s Eccentric Café presents the KSO “Salon Orchestra”—the Pint-Sized KSO—featuring our Artists in Residence playing short selections from the greatest symphonies, operas and dance music of the 19^th century. We're calling this the "Spring" Craft Music, so let's get in the springtime spirit in the heart of a Michigan winter!

This is the perfect opportunity to warm up with a pint of Kalamazoo’s best-loved brew* while listening to our great musicians in a relaxed atmosphere.

* Please note that beer is not included in the ticket price and must be purchased separately

No refunds are available for returned tickets.

ACCESSIBILITY: We strive to make all venues where the KSO offers concerts fully accessible to all. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact the KSO office at 269-349-7759.
