Music and Dance through February 24
Tue, Feb 16, 2010
The Kansas City Symphony features a world premiere flute concerto from Italian composer Luca Lombardi this weekend, along with chestnuts by Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Rossini. The most exciting concert this weekend, however, will probably be the spectacular pianism of Canadian virtuoso Marc-Andre Hamelin, who appears with the Harriman Jewell series on Friday night at the Folly Theater. Fans of vocal music have a difficult choice on Saturday night, as Musica Sacra presents the “Music of Salzburg” with Mozart and Haydn (but it’s Michael, not Franz Joseph), while the gorgeously blended eight voices of Octarium sing pastiche masses by a variety of choral composers. Tough choice. Several other fine opportunities also await your ears, including a free concert Monday noon at the Carlsen Center with the Brookside String Quartet consisting of Symphony and Chamber Orchestra players.
