'Masterworks'

The Kansas City Wind Symphony opens its 20th season at the Village Church in Prairie Village with a new conductor at its helm. Dr. Langston Hemenway, Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Instrumental Studies at William Jewell College, will conduct his first concert as our Musical Director.
