Here's a look at the 2025 Symphony in the Flint Hills through the lens of Flint Hills Media Project alum Selena Favela, who was a member of the 2017 team. Selena is now a portrait and freelance photographer, and we loved having her along with us for the day.

A week ago, we were enjoying the beauty of the Flint Hills and the Kansas City Symphony, as well as the company of nearly 8,000 friends at the “Grande Finale” Symphony in the Flint Hills near Strong City, Kansas. Here are some of Zachary Ruth’s favorite photos from the day. Zach is a sophomore journalism and media production student at Wichita State University and was part of the 11th Flint Hills Media Project.

Not long after the gates opened at Saturday's Symphony in the Flint Hills, we spotted this couple, obviously dressed for a wedding. What a sweet story by Owen Prothro on this Lawrence couple who made the event their wedding venue.

Mitch and Kasey Jones, of Lawrence, got married at the scenic Symphony in the Flint Hills on Saturday in the company of family and a few close friends. Eventually, nearly 8,000 people joined them for a reception party on the prairie.

After 20 years, Symphony in the Flint Hills staged the Grand Finale of their signature event Saturday, June 14, 2025 at the Evans Family Ranch near Stong City, Kansas. While storms clouded much of the state that morning, the symphony site remained dry. Other than having to start the Kansas City Symphony concert about 30 minutes late because guests were slow getting up the gravel road and into the site, the sold-out event went smoothly as planned. Here are a few photos from the concert and sunset after. We'll continue to post galleries here throughout the week.
