Hoffman’s 1816 story 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King,' and trace the story’s unlikely journey from its origin as a dark and fantastical fairy tale to becoming the world’s most popular ballet.
Sixteen musicians of The People’s Liberation Big Band, led by Brad Cox, will perform arrangements by Cox, Patrick Alonzo Conway, Jeff Harshbarger, and Forest Stewart. Notable Kansas City musicians performing include Matt Otto (saxophone), Rich Wheeler (saxophone), and Jeff Harshbarger (bass).
