Overview

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.

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is a world-class cultural landmark in Kansas City, home to major performing arts organizations and renowned for its striking architecture and acoustics.

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is one of the most iconic cultural venues in the United States and a centerpiece of Kansas City’s arts scene. Opened in 2011 and designed by acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie, the center is celebrated for its bold, sculptural design and state-of-the-art performance spaces.

The complex houses two main halls: Helzberg Hall, designed primarily for symphonic music and home to the Kansas City Symphony, and Muriel Kauffman Theatre, which hosts opera, ballet, Broadway productions, and large-scale dance performances. Both venues are internationally praised for their exceptional acoustics, elegant interiors, and technical sophistication.

As the home of the Kansas City Ballet, Lyric Opera of Kansas City, and the Kansas City Symphony, the Kauffman Center presents a wide range of performances, from classical and contemporary music to ballet, opera, theater, and multidisciplinary events. Beyond performances, the center is dedicated to education, community engagement, and artistic excellence, making it a vital cultural hub for the region and an architectural symbol of creativity and innovation.
