Description

Oct. 9-11, 2026 Helzberg Hall Vimbayi Kaziboni, guest conductor MingYu Hsu, viola Sopranos and altos of the Kansas City Symphony Chorus GIACINTO SCELSI Selections from Quattro pezzi su una nota sola LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Overture to Egmont BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ Rhapsody-Concerto for Viola and Orchestra GUSTAV HOLST The Planets Take a musical trip that’s out of this world as the Kansas City Symphony plays Gustav Holst’s The Planets ! This astrological and astronomical trek includes a militant march for Mars (which inspired music for the movie “Gladiator”), a sweeping, majestic theme for Jupiter and the women of the Symphony Chorus joining the orchestra for the mysterious, otherworldly Neptune movement. Plus, our own principal viola, MingYu Hsu, takes a solo turn in Bohuslav Martinů’s Rhapsody-Concerto for Viola and Orchestra.
