The Chamber Orchestra of Smoky Valley is an auditioned, regional ensemble of professional musicians that includes not only a few Bethany faculty members, but players from Wichita, Salina, and Hutchinson as well. Seeking to educate and engage audience members through the performance of orchestral masterworks, the ensemble is under the musical direction of Dr. Keith Dodson, Assistant Bethany College Professor of Music and Director of Instrumental Studies, and led by concertmaster Ann Samuelson, who is also a Bethany College Assistant Professor of Upper Strings.

While there are many symphonic orchestras in the central Kansas area, this ensemble is unique in terms of its smaller size fostering a level of intimacy in their performance and venues and creating a different concert experience from the large halls of symphonic orchestras
