Kenny’s passion for the symphony began in fifth grade when he received a free ticket from the public library to attend a teaching performance of Prokofiev’s “Peter and Wolf” at the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco.  Kenny joined the Board of Directors in 2024 because of his desire to ensure that high quality music education and skill development are available to the youth of the Sacramento region.  He views the mission and role of the Sacramento Youth Symphony as critical to developing young musicians who may not have access to such programs elsewhere.  In addition to serving on the Board, Kenny also volunteers as a local high school site council member to provide oversight over curriculum and school spending.
