42nd Annual Festival Showcase Concert

Featuring the Youth Keyboard Orchestra

Friday, May 29 | First Presbyterian Church | 7:30 p.m.

The OKM Music Keyboard Orchestra is Oklahoma’s first known Youth Keyboard Orchestra, bringing together talented young musicians ages 7–18 in an innovative and inspiring ensemble experience. Founded by Lesa Steele and the late Kathy Stewart, the program allows students to perform on advanced Clavinova keyboards that recreate the sound of a full orchestra.

As part of OKM Music, the Keyboard Orchestra encourages creativity, teamwork, confidence, and musical excellence while introducing students to a wide variety of music, from patriotic favorites and classical works to film scores and contemporary pieces. Through performances, community events, and the annual OKM Music Festival, these young musicians gain meaningful stage experience while sharing their love of music with audiences across the region.

More than just a music program, the Keyboard Orchestra is helping inspire the next generation of artists and enriching the cultural landscape of Bartlesville through education, innovation, and the joy of making music together.
