BERNSTEIN Fancy Free

TCHAIKOVSKY Violin Concerto

STRAVINSKY Pétrouchka

The legendary Midori will dazzle audiences with Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. A virtuosic tour-de-force from start to finish, the piece is one of the most popular and thrilling works in the repertoire. Fancy Free, Bernstein’s youthful, exuberant ballet depicting a trip of sailors on 24-hour shore leave, opens the program. Capping off the colorful Kansas City Symphony concert is Stravinsky’s Pétrouchka, the tragic story of a puppet who comes to life, only to be murdered by his rival. Tickets start at $30.
