Transforming Lives through Music
The Oklahoma Opry transforms lives through music with three programs: 1) Granville School of Music where they provide quality music lessons to children ages 9-18 who come from low-income families for just 50 cents per lesson with instruments and curriculum included as well as affordable summer camps; 2) Strings of Valor benefitting Oklahoma veterans with free guitar lessons for 12 weeks. Once they complete the program, they are gifted a new guitar and all the accessories needed to continue playing and socializing at monthly Strings of Valor events; 3) The Oklahoma Opry, Oklahoma’s Official Country Music Show provides family friendly live entertainment Saturday nights in Bricktown, Sunday nights 6-8PM on 99.7FM The Wolf as well as community concerts, workshops and master classes throughout the year.
Darci Lynne got her start on the Opry stage as a young performer. She went on to appear on Little Big Shots in 2016 and won America’s Got Talent in 2017 at the age of 12. After her win, she held her own NBC Christmas special featuring Toby Keith and Kristin Chenoweth reaching over 9 million households and has continued to headline her own tours showcasing her talented ventriloquist and comedic skills as well as featuring new original music as a solo artist. As an actress, singer-songwriter and the inspiration behind the renewed love & interest in ventriloquism, the Oklahoma Opry feels very fortunate to have Darci Lynne as an ambassador.
The Oklahoma Opry has provided the best in live country music since 1977 and now is excited to announce they have the honor and responsibility to re-open the Oklahoma Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum in their recently purchased building located in the heart of OKC’s premier entertainment district on the Bricktown Canal. The Hall of Fame & Museum will re-open with the purpose to collect, preserve and interpret the history and traditions of country music and showcase how Oklahoma singers, songwriters and musicians impact the genre. The goal of the current Capital Campaign is to raise funds to renovate the building, install the exhibits and have all programs up and running under the same roof by Spring of 2028 in celebration of the Oklahoma Opry’s 50th Anniversary and right before the Olympics come to town. It’s an exciting time in Oklahoma City and for Bricktown. Join us as we create one of the top tourist destinations in our state for local families and tourists from abroad. With your help, the Oklahoma Opry will transform lives and our community through music.
