Fiona's personal favorites for the next 12 days include Sylvia Stoner's Concert of Swan Songs on May 14th; Dr. Arnold Epley's Retirement Concert with the William Jewell College Concert Choir on May 15th; the Kansas City Symphony on Saturday the 16th; Octarium on Saturday the 16th; the Mozart Vespers & Poulenc Concerto for Organ at Village Presbyterian Church on Sunday the 17th; the Mozart's Coronation Mass at St. Peter's Cathedral on Sunday the 17th (very highly recommended by me for the music AND the visual and acoustical space); the Heart of America Wind Quintet on Sunday the 17th; and the One Piano, Four Hands concert with Ron Brown and Marian Thomas on Friday the 22nd.
We are very fortunate in this KC Metropolis to have multiple opportunities to hear many fine local and regional choral ensembles. I'm giving you a heads up for a unique event on May 30 and I hope you will add it to your calendar. The Simon Carrington Chamber Singers will give their debut concerts in Kansas City and Lawrence on Saturday May 30th. Former King's Singer for 25 years, former Director of Choral Activities at Kansas University, and most recently Professor of Choral music at Yale, Simon Carrington will be here to direct 24 select singers, most of whom have sung in one of his groups. This is a unique opportunity for you because this is their only concert scheduled for the next year. Look for details in my column next week.
Try one of the other "fiona favorites" found just below the theatre listings on fiona's list. There's something for you for every night of the week. My recommendation this time is ABEL RAMIREZ playing at Ari's Greek Restaurant on Tuesday evening.
A list of 2009 performing arts events through August can be found on by clicking on KC Events on the top navigation bar.
Fiona HIGHLY recommends another list of events for families, friends, educators, & neighbors of children 10 and under. Miss Jackie's May list includes Jazz Storytelling, Marble Days, Read to a Dog, Truman's 125th birthday celebration, puppet shows, Asian Heritage Festival, 50 cent train rides, and more. To receive her monthly list, send an email to: missjackielists@gmail.com
Until next Wednesday morning,
Fiona
