Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, op. 37

The Rite of Spring

Approved

Emanuel Ax is one of the world’s great pianists and a perennial Kansas City favorite. He returns to play Beethoven’s exciting Piano Concerto No. 3. This brilliant work opened the door for Beethoven’s revolutionary music that would astound the world.  At turns energetic, driving, ingenious, and thunderous — this concerto is completely irresistible.
You’ll be shouting “Amen!” after hearing Carlos Simon’s homage to his family’s multi-generational experience in the African American Pentecostal church. Overflowing with vibrant sounds and jazzy rhythms, AMEN! is a loving evocation of an energetic and emotion-packed church service, a time for communal meditation, joy and transcendence.
 
More than a century after its epic premiere, The Rite of Spring is still powerful, challenging us with its complex rhythms and iconic tone colors. Stravinsky’s masterpiece is stunning in the sheer range of its expression. From amorphous swirls to jagged edges, subtle shadings to primal screams, The Rite of Spring truly is one of the greatest and most influential works of all time.
