The Kansas City Symphony Presents: On Stage with Emanuel Ax

The Kansas City Symphony invites you to an evening that goes beyond a typical concert experience. The night kicks off at 7:00 p.m. with a reception featuring drinks and appetizers. At 8:00 p.m., you'll move into Helzberg Hall, where something special happens: you're seated right on the stage itself, just feet away from the musicians. Music Director Matthias Pintscher hosts a concert and conversation featuring guest pianist Emanuel Ax and Symphony musicians, creating an intimate setting where you can truly connect with the performance. After the music concludes, guests return to the reception area to meet and chat with the artists. This is an excellent choice for families who appreciate classical music and want a memorable cultural experience. The combination of a relaxed reception, up-close seating, and artist interaction makes it feel like a VIP evening without being stuffy. Tickets are $111 per person.
