KC Symphony Tickets

Alison gave us two free tickets to the KC Symphony, so Dorito and I got our first peek of Helzberg Hall! Luckily, Dale was already driving to KC for hockey practice with the twins, and he could easily drop us off. The interior environment is magical with its glass-walled lobby overlooking KC skyline, and a blond paneled auditorium with excellent acoustics. We applauded the "Helzberg Jewel" concerto written in honor of the Hall's major donors. Next was a stunning concerto played by the Young Artist Competition winner--a 15-year-old Russian girl whose violin technique was flawless. Later came  an organ solo with the organist playing from the loft 30-feet above the stage floor. After the fun Slavic Dances, they final number was "Church Windows," a reverent and appropriate ending.
