Maestro Stern has a talent for finding exciting new music and A Joyous Trilogy by up-and-coming composer/conductor Quinn Mason is a terrific discovery. Mason set out to “create a composition that was the very embodiment of happiness and cheerfulness, an accessible work that would put any listener in a good mood.” Exactly what we all need!

Witold Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra is an audacious work and wonderfully rewarding. Carefully balancing structure and content while navigating a path between intellect and emotion, Lutosławski is firmly anchored in tradition while simultaneously searching the avantgarde for expressive potential. His Concerto demands individual virtuosity but uses it collectively in a sound world that seems old yet is unmistakably contemporary. Discover new dimensions of the symphonic realm in this bold work from the mid-20th century.

The Kansas City Symphony has superbly talented musicians and this is your chance to hear Principal Cello Mark Gibbs and Principal Viola MingYu Hsu featured in Richard Strauss’ noble tone poem, Don Quixote. Through a series of variations vividly depicting the Don’s adventures as a knight, Strauss offers a delightful vision of Cervantes’ novel. Follow your quest to hear great music by joining the Kansas City Symphony for this exhilarating concert!eng
