Kansas City’s Kauffmann Center for the Performing Arts
Huge weekend in Kansas City
OPEN HOUSE - September 18, 2011
For years we’ve been anxiously awaiting the opening of theworld class Kaufmann Performing Arts Center – it’s here - finally!
The public is invited to the free Open House event on Sunday with a variety of musicians playing in the state of the art facility all afternoon - in addition to tours of the beautiful center.
Enjoy a great meal before, or after your visit to the center at the many close by restaurants - from downtown’s Power & Light District, to the Crossroads District or Crown Center.
Saturday, September 17th promises to be a wonderful experience with performances by Singer/Pianist Diana Krall and virtuoso violinist Itzhak Perlman, as well as a salute to Kansas City jazz featuring composer/musician Bobby Watson. The event is to showcase the halls new acoustics. Accompanying these great musicians is the Kansas City Symphony with Musical Director, Michael Stern. The interesting thing is that there is no sound system, or micrphones according to the acoustician. No seat is more than 100 feet from the stage. It is a must see facility, and I cannot wait to marvel at the sounds and wonderful views from the sleek wall of glass from this beautifully designed building.
Note: The Friday night and Saturday night events have sold out.
Here is the schedule for the free Open House Weekend with the 450 performers representing 40 performance arts groups. The doors open at 11:00am, and the performances run from 12:00-5:00pm.
