Kansas City Symphony Classical Concert
Disney’s animated classic, “Fantasia,” prominently features Leopold Stokowski’s lush orchestration of Bach’s famous Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, and likewise, Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphosis converts earlier music (in this case, by Carl Maria von Weber) into an orchestral tour-de-force. The Symphony also welcomes back the youthful virtuoso George Li to perform Liszt’s First Piano Concerto, an impressive work with intricate passages and gorgeous melodies.
