Event
UMKC Day at the Kansas City Symphony

The University of Missouri- Kansas City and the Kansas City Symphony are excited to announce that UMKC Day at the Kansas City Symphony- a Signature Event for UMKC Engagement Month- will return on October 29, 2023. The UMKC Community is invited to step outside the structured lines of everyday life and into the outrageous imagination of Strauss’s legendary Don Quixote.

 All students enrolled in the university's First Semester Experience can receive a FREE ticket and should contact Melissa Stallbaumer, UMKC's First Semester Engagement Experience Coordinator at FSE@umkc.edu. Note that this is a different link than the one provided for the rest of the UMKC Community.

The Kansas City Symphony has graciously offered all remaining UMKC students, faculty, and staff a discounted price of $12.00. “Can You Imagine?” Come to the Kansas City Symphony, and Explore Your Imagination!

Full Performance Details

Guided by the fantastic talents of Principal Viola MingYu Hsu and Principal Cello Mark Gibbs, students, faculty, and staff will embark on an exhilarating musical adventure. Paired with Mason’s A Joyous Trilogy, a work that embodies cheerfulness, and Lutosławski’s audacious and wonderfully rewarding Concerto for Orchestra, this concert’s program will fuel your mind with powerful sound!

Quinn Mason: A Joyous Trilogy

Quinn Mason, a young composer in his twenties, created this piece in 2019 and dedicated it to his friend and mentor Will White. This piece attempts to capture and reflect back the jubilation of life--allowing the audience to become fully immersed in it.

Witold Lutoslawski: Concerto for Orchestra

This piece was written in the 1950s and draws upon some of the stylistic choices seen in the Polish Folklore that Lutoslawski heard in his childhood. This piece connects the audience to another time while still representing the emotions of today.

Richard Strauss: Don Quixote

Written in 1897, this piece illustrates a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes. This tale of imagination, chivalry, and adventure is sure to transport the audience into another world.
