Fall music & dance guide

Ghostly ballet, star conductors, more headed to Kansas City

HARRIMAN-JEWELL SERIES

This is the year the big orchestras return to the Harriman-Jewell Series. This season also marks the Kansas City debut of Marin Alsop, who will conduct Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo on Oct. 10. In 2012, Alsop was named the orchestra’s first female principal conductor. She will conduct a healthy serving of music by the Brazilian Heitor Villa Lobos. (When was the last time you heard this important composer’s music in concert?) But the main event is Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, the ever-popular fantasy inspired by the Arabian Nights. 7 p.m. Oct. 10. Helzberg Hall, Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. $15-$85. 816-415-5025 or hjseries.org.
