Part of Hancher's 52nd season

A celebration of prodigious talent — in the orchestra, on the podium, at the piano, and from the composer. 

America’s second oldest symphony orchestra — and one of its finest — presents an exploration of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s music under the baton of self-described “bon vivant” Stéphane Denève. From his first symphony, composed at age 8, to Mitridate, rè di Ponto, a work composed when the prodigy was just 14 years old, to his “Paris” Symphony, which draws from the composer’s emotions upon the death of his mother, this is music from a master performed masterfully. The orchestra will be joined by Uzbek pianist Behzod Abduraimov, himself a prodigy who arrived in Kansas City alone at 16 with no English but with an undeniable talent, for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20. 

“[Abduraimov] coaxed sound of gossamer beauty from the keys and created shimmering halos around the notes.” —The Times, London
