Hopkinsville Chamber Orchestra and Chorus Inaugural Concert
The Hopkinsville Chamber Orchestra and Chorus represent the highest level of classical performance in Christian County. Born from a shared vision to elevate the local arts scene, this ensemble combines world-class guest artists, regional professionals, and our community’s most talented vocalists and instrumentalists to create "big city" musical experiences right in the heart of the Pennyrile. The vision came to life through a partnership between the Pennyroyal Arts Council and First United Methodist Church. Under the direction of Heejung Park, it has grown into a shared effort uniting local musicians and voices—creating a meaningful and lasting musical legacy for the community.
The debut performance of the Hopkinsville Chamber Orchestra and Chorus is more than a concert—it’s a beginning and an open invitation for all who have longed for a place to play, sing, and belong.
Please join us for this historic milestone on June 20, 2026, at 6:30 PM at the Historic Alhambra Theatre. A celebratory reception will follow the performance, offering a chance to meet the musicians and celebrate this "New Hopkinsville" together.

Peter and Wendy
Adapted by Michael McGill, Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill
When Captain Hook sends his right-hand man, Smee, on a quest to capture Peter Pan, it’s seemingly business as usual…at first. Little does Hook realize what fantastic adventures await him and his pirate posse in their search for the elusive Peter Pan. Mistaken identities, ever-morphing clouds, a classy crocodile, some very lost boys, and a fickle shadow all add to the mayhem. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Darling embark on a quest of their own and find themselves trekking everywhere from Hawaii to the North Pole in search of their three missing children. With help from the earth-friendly Neverlanders, exotic Neverland creatures, and faithful Tinker Bell, the Darling children are found, disputes are ultimately resolved, and everyone–including Captain Hook–finds a place where they truly belong.

Rising
RISING, a documentary from Team Kentucky, tells the story of the strength and resilience of Eastern Kentuckians as they undertake the most ambitious rebuilding effort in the nation following the historic flooding that took place in the summer of 2022. From devastation to hope, this story chronicles how an idea became a reality as state, federal, and local partners work to build survivors new homes on abandoned coal mine sites – out of the floodplains and protected from future floods. RISING shows the world what is possible and proves that, by working together, we can rise above any challenge.
RISING was produced with support from the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet and the Cabinet for Economic Development.
