Kansas City’s arts organizations are in full gear now, and the next two weekends offer an overabundance of excellent performances. The 200th Mendelssohn anniversary brings us Symphony concert master Kanako Ito in the master’s Violin Concerto, and The Friends of Chamber Music presents the always entrancing group Anonymous 4, and the Harriman Jewell Series features British organist David Goode. And several community orchestras take the stage for ambitious programs of their own. Whew! Don’t complain about lack of choices, Kansas City!
