The Kansas City Symphony Presents: Emanuel Ax Plays Mozart

Renowned pianist Emanuel Ax returns to perform with the Kansas City Symphony under the direction of Music Director Matthias Pintscher. The program opens with an overture by Johann Strauss II before moving to Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20, an atmospheric work written in the minor key—one of only two Mozart composed in this mode. The concert concludes with Richard Strauss's *Ein Heldenleben* (A Hero's Life), an extended tone poem exploring the composer's vision of heroism and triumph. This is a wonderful opportunity for families who enjoy orchestral music and want to experience live classical performance. Tickets start at $35, and performances are held at the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts.
