In June of 2025, KWMP will transport our audience to the golden days of the 1930s with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music, as part of our Concert Series of Popular Musicals at Knox, Waterloo. With its inspiring tale of hope, family, and the resounding strength of the human spirit amidst the backdrop of a changing world, The Sound of Music explores the resilience of love and music in the face of encroaching darkness.
The Sound of Music won the 1960 Tony® Award for Best Musical and features such well-known songs as “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” and the title song “The Sound of Music.”
