The Kansas City Symphony will present the world premiere of "Lost Souls" - A Piano Concerto by Israeli composer Avner Dorman on November 20-22. "Lost Souls" tell the haunting story of a séance summoning ghosts of concertos past, ending in an exorcism. Praised by Gramophone Magazine as "a fresh, young voice, worth following," Avner Dorman is a rising star composer whose orchestral works were recently performed by the New York Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
