It’s a new season with a new energy for the Iola Area Symphony Orchestra.

Raúl Munguía, director of orchestras for Pittsburg State University, is the Iola orchestra’s new conductor, replacing longtime conductor Gregory Turner of Fort Scott. 

Munguía’s debut will be Saturday night, when the orchestra takes the stage at 7 o’clock at the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.

Daniel Kays, director of the Bowlus, oversees the orchestra’s programming, noting the orchestra dissolved its non-profit status in 2018 to come under the Center’s umbrella along the same time that Kays took the helm.
