Kentucky Opry Junior Pros
The Kentucky Opry Jr. Pros is a premier youth music program dedicated to nurturing the next generation of performers. Open to talented students ages 6 to 18, the Jr. Pros group offers comprehensive training in musical instruments, vocal performance, stage presence, commercial music, music theory, and musical history.
Each year, young artists audition for a coveted spot in the program, where they gain hands-on experience through classroom sessions and rehearsals. With guidance from expert instructors, students create and perform four major seasonal productions and serve as the opening act for the Kentucky Opry.
Additionally, they showcase their talents in "Headliner Shows" each year, including a themed spring performance and a fan-favorite Halloween production.
Beyond the stage, the Kentucky Jr. Opry collaborates with local dance studios for expanded artistic expression and serves as a launching pad for young musicians. Many alumni have continued their careers with the Kentucky Opry or found success in Nashville, New York, Orlando, Cincinnati, and beyond, performing across the country and around the world.
