Overview

Come and be swept up in romantic lyricism as violinist Stella Chen joins your Kansas City Symphony to perform Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto. Hear one sublime melody after another and feel the excitement of the nonstop perpetual-motion finale. Sergei Prokofiev’s Sixth Symphony is a profound work dedicated to the victims of World War II, by turns lyrical, austere, bright and unsettling. The final movement, according to the composer, reflects on “questions cast into eternity” and “wounds that cannot be healed,” and ends in a major key but with doubts unresolved.
