KC audiences will have not one, but two chances to hear the charming music of Stravinsky's "Petrouchka" this weekend. On Friday night pianist Stephen Prutsman, making his Friends of Chamber Music debut, will play excerpts from "Petrouchka" as well as works of Haydn, Ravel, Chopin and Bach. Then, the KC Symphony will present the full orchestral version of the same music, along with the Sibelius "Violin Concerto" with Canadian violinist Karen Gomyo in three performances over the weekend.
The international youth orchestra Philharmonia of the Nations appears on the Performing Arts Series at JCCC on Saturday, tackling Mahler's difficult "Symphony No. 1" (the "Titan"), and violinist Rachel Lee, longtime student of Itzhak Perlman, gives a free Discovery Series concert for the Harriman Jewell series that same evening. The Fine Arts Chorale presents "Heartfelt Voices" and several other fine community orchestras and choral societies also present Valentine's Weekend concerts.
