Possible Wichita Symphony performance at historic courthouse under staff review

A county staff member alerted commissioners that the Wichita Symphony has expressed interest in renting space at the historic courthouse for a mid-June performance described as an opera concerning the late Supreme Court justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"They were interested in potentially renting out some space at the historic courthouse to perform this event," the staff member said. He said the interest had been raised months earlier and had resurfaced; staff continue to discuss logistics and analyze feasibility, and the event might appear on the final agenda if arrangements are finalized.

Staff characterized the item as still being finalized and noted the county is analyzing the request and schedule. Commissioners were invited to ask questions but no formal decision or booking was reported during the agenda review.
