The Kansas City Ballet wraps up its second season at the Kauffman Center with performances marking the end of artistic director William Whitener’s tenure. Meanwhile the Kansas City Symphony performs several special concerts, including a Classics Uncorked event and two performances featuring film music from Alfred Hitchcock’s movies and music from Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals. The Casavant organ at Helzberg Hall gets another workout in one of the Symphony’s continuing series of organ concerts. The Harriman-Jewell Series presents the talented young Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki in a free Discovery Concert, and Park University’s impressive faculty closes out the year with a chamber music concert. In addition, both of our local music conservatories mark the end of the school year with impressive concerts, including a full orchestral and choral concert by the combined forces of the UMKC Conservatory at Helzberg Hall. The William Baker Festival Singers give a season-ending concert, as does the Kansas City Wind Symphony. There is much from which to choose during these two weeks!
