Matthias Pintscher, music director and conductor Julian Kaplan, trumpet Evan Hughes, baritoneAmit Rahav, narrator Kansas City Symphony Chorus TOSHIO HOSOKAWA Im Nebel, Trumpet Concerto (U.S. premiere) SERGEI RACHMANINOFF Spring FELIX MENDELSSOHN A Midsummer Night’s Dream Celebrate the power of poetry with this imaginative and wide-ranging program! The German composer Felix Mendelssohn fell in love with Shakespeare at a young age — even studying English to read the Bard’s works in their original language. Mendelssohn wrote effervescent incidental music for the play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” including the famous Overture and the “Wedding March.” Our own Principal Trumpet Julian Kaplan solos in a concerto based on a hauntingly introspective poem by Hermann Hesse, and Rachmaninoff’s piece for baritone, chorus and orchestra tells a dramatic story of the transformative power of spring.

Drawn into the story of people he never knew, Peltzman develops a “relationship” with his uncle, Norbert Stern, a brilliant pianist who was murdered in Auschwitz at age 21. Learning that Holocaust trauma can be inherited, Peltzman recounts his coming to terms with second generation survivor trauma and the role of music in helping to manage wounds that will never fully heal. A singular tale from the Holocaust that is at once extraordinary and relatable.
