MAX BRUCH Violin Concerto No. 2
OTTORINO RESPIGHI Pines of Rome

Start your weekend with our must-see Friday night concert series and social experience, Symphonic Piazza. Prepare to escape, mingle, and be entertained as you enjoy the perfect combination of a shorter format concert with enjoyable and engaging lobby activities to share with family, friends, and our musicians. It’s your new go-to date night! The fun continues in the lobby after the concert, as we’ll have even more memorable things for you to experience.

Join the Kansas City Symphony on an imaginative voyage through faraway lands in this concert. Italian composer Ottorino Respighi transports us to Rome with his fan-favorite piece, Pines of Rome, which ends with an earth-shattering finale as the triumphant Roman army marches along the Appian Way. Plus, our concertmaster Jun Iwasaki takes a solo turn in Max Bruch’s expressive Second Violin Concerto.
