Music and Dance through September 15
Tue, Aug 24, 2010
September! It’s the end of summer vacations, back to school time, and the beginning of a new classical music season for many of Kansas City’s classical music ensembles. In the first couple of weeks of September you will have the pick of several favorites. The Kansas City Symphony kicks off with a Labor Day weekend pops concert, the Carlsen Center features the always charming Takacs String Quartet, and the Symphony’s music director Michael Stern makes his first appearance of the season, but not at the helm of the Kansas City Symphony, but rather leading the forces of the Conservatory Orchestra of the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance. Speaking of dance, the young Ailey II ensemble of the Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey opens their season this month at the Folly Theater. And if contemporary music is your thing, the new music ensemble newEar opens its concert season with the music of Takemitsu and others. Sit back and enjoy!
