The worlds of music and theatre collide in this imaginative tribute to Shakespeare’s timeless stories. From the romance of Romeo and Juliet to the mischief of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the dark intrigue of Macbeth, these tales unfold through a seamless blend of orchestral music, live narration, actors, and whimsical puppetry. With works by Purcell, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, and contemporary composer Anna Clyne, the program sweeps from Baroque elegance to bold modern drama. The Orpheum stage becomes a storybook come to life in an evening that’s as rich for classical fans as it is magical for theatre lovers.

The Plaza Winds, UMKC’s Fellowship Woodwind Quintet, presents their fall recital.

Pianist extraordinaire George Li returns to Kansas City to perform Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, a work born out of struggles with writer’s block and depression that has become a favorite with performers and audiences alike. Paired with the concerto is his haunting choral symphony The Bells, one of his own favorite compositions.”
