A finale full of sound and fury
Two 20th century works and a favorite Romantic piano concerto capped off the Kansas City Symphony’s concert season last weekend. The overwhelmingly jovial program of all-Russian music celebrating man’s pure spirit, happiness and freedom was certainly a crowd-pleaser and left me feeling excited for next season with the Symphony.
Dual choruses take the stage with American music
Last Saturday night at the Folly Theater saw an enthusiastic and supportive crowd for the Heartland Men's Chorus’s joint effort with the Portland Gay Men's Chorus. These ensembles presented a wide offering of American music sourced from patriotic and traditional tunes to African- Mexican- and Native-American folk music.
Courageous programming for Musica Vocale
Musica Vocale’s final local concert of the season showcased Aaron Copland’s Four Motets and Arthur Honegger’s King David. This was challenging music, not only for the musicians, but for the audience as well. Those expecting to hear sounds similar to Appalachian Spring and Pacific 231 were probably disappointed, but the Motets and King David were worth the listen.
Mozart’s death mass brought to life
The Kansas City Chamber Orchestra closed their concert season last Friday with an ambitious program featuring Mozart’s legendary "Requiem in D minor." A work shrouded in mystery and intrigue, this was the star of the concert under the direction of Bruce Sorrell, the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra and a combined chorus comprised of members from the Village Presbyterian and St. Paul’s Episcopal Churches, and Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral.
"Sweetgrass"
This lifeless documentary focuses more on sheep than the supposed cowboys who shepherd them.
