    The Subscription Series concerts spanned October through May, and featured five attractive, accessible and affordable symphonic programs offered in venues throughout Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio. This season, due to COVID restrictions, the KSO performed in non-conventional spaces, Verst Group Logistics warehouse, Hebron, KY, Newport Car Barn, Newport KY and St. Peter in Chains Cathedral in Cincinnati, OH. in order to accommodate a live and virtual audience of 2,460 people. These concerts were the sole source of earned ticket revenue (prices ranging from $15 - $35). Subscription Series concerts showcase the orchestra's most musically challenging and aesthetically creative performances, and remains the basis for program structure, artistic development, and musical growth. Without the Subscription Series, the Education Series and Summer Park Series would not be possible.
