Our unrivaled hometown symphony is finally returning to the stage in Helzberg Hall at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and at full capacity, no less, which seemed impossible this time last year.
“We’ve missed performing in Helzberg Hall in front of live audiences so much,” says Executive Director Danny Beckley. “There is a spark that happens when musicians perform before a live audience. You can see and hear our musicians’ passion. And we see on your face how the music makes you feel.”
The orchestra's 2021-22 lineup, which begins Sept. 24 before full audiences in Helzberg Hall, features classical favorites and world premieres and commissions.
A massive crowd gathered at the National World War I Museum and Memorial on Sunday for hot-air balloons, food trucks, music and military displays, part of a weekend-long tribute to America's war dead.
