RUFUS WAINWRIGHT WITH THE KANSAS CITY SYMPHONY: OH WHAT A WORLD OF RUFUS

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT WITH THE KANSAS CITY SYMPHONY: OH WHAT A WORLD OF RUFUS

Presented by Kansas City Symphony at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts

Rufus Wainwright's music is larger than pop. It is symphonic. Growing up in a folk music household with his mother, Canadian folk legend Kate McGarrigle, Rufus discovered opera at the age of 12. He always described classical music and opera in particular as his "secret sauce" for his pop music, something that makes him sound unique. At the beginning of his career Elton John hailed him as “the best songwriter on the planet," The New York Times praised his "genuine originality", and the London Times recently wrote "“when he unleashes that velvety truffle of a voice…you want it to go on and on.” For his debut with the KC Symphony he goes deep into his vast catalogue from his eponymous debut album to his latest Grammy® nominated "Unfollow the Rules," from lush orchestral arrangement of classics such as "Going to a Town" to "Oh What a World" to solo renditions of new material and covers. This concert will take you on an emotional, uplifting and entertaining journey with one of the great and most original singer songwriters and composers of our time.
