The Friends of Chamber Music presented pianist Stephen Prutsman at the Folly Theater last Friday. Billed as a romantic evening (little "r" perhaps because it was Valentine's weekend), it was, in musical fact, a "Classical-Romantic-Impressionist-Baroque-20th century" evening with something for everyone.

Generations collide when a bitter, elderly Tennessee widow returns to his farm only to discover it's been rented to an enemy from his past. "That Evening Sun" is a tense, superbly written drama with a performance by Hal Holbrook that shows he is still on top of his game.

The Kansas City Symphony will perform the world premiere of Luca Lombardi's "Flute Concerto" this weekend at the Lyric Theatre and The Carlsen Center. The piece was commissioned by the Symphony and will be performed by world-renowned flutist Emmanuel Pahud.

The Kansas City Symphony features a world premiere flute concerto from Italian composer Luca Lombardi this weekend, along with chestnuts by Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Rossini. The most exciting concert this weekend, however, will probably be the spectacular pianism of Canadian virtuoso Marc-Andre Hamelin, who appears with the Harriman Jewell series on Friday night at the Folly Theater. Fans of vocal music have a difficult choice on Saturday night, as Musica Sacra presents the “Music of Salzburg” with Mozart and Haydn (but it’s Michael, not Franz Joseph), while the gorgeously blended eight voices of Octarium sing pastiche masses by a variety of choral composers. Tough choice. Several other fine opportunities also await your ears, including a free concert Monday noon at the Carlsen Center with the Brookside String Quartet consisting of Symphony and Chamber Orchestra players.
