In fact, when you include the Kerrville Performing Arts Society, Symphony of the Hills, the Hill Country Chorale, the Hill Country Youth Orchestra and other performing arts organizations, Kerrville and Kerr County provide cultural entertainment options typically reserved only for metropolitan areas.
