Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis

Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, op. 58

Serenade No. 10 in B-flat Major, K 361/370a

Approved

Michael Stern has crafted a unique program that will delight the senses and linger in your memory. Ralph Vaughan Williams was steeped in the rich heritage of English string music and he used a sweet melody by the Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis in this glorious fantasia that has delighted audiences for more than a century. You’ll be swept away by the luscious string sonority.

Throughout his stellar career, Jeffrey Kahane has enchanted audiences with insightful and inspiring performances. An acclaimed pianist, we’re delighted to welcome him back to Kansas City to play Beethoven’s superb Fourth Piano Concerto, an absolute masterwork for the piano. Hear for yourself what happens when great talents combine across the centuries.

The Kansas City Symphony woodwinds are exceptional musicians and they’ll be featured in Mozart’s Serenade No. 10, often called “Gran Partita” for its expansive form. This graceful work pushes the conventional boundaries in an elegant and polished manner that readily demonstrates Mozart’s genius.
