“This October, the Harriman-Jewell Series presents a groundbreaking performance with the United States debut of the Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo. Kansas City is one of only three stops on the Brazilian orchestra’s U.S. tour, which culminates in performances at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
“One of our tenets is discovery,” said Clark Morris, executive and artistic director for the Harriman-Jewell Series. “We see that as both our role and our desire, to . . . bring new artistic moments to Kansas City.”
The São Paulo orchestra is led by world-renowned conductor Marin Alsop, making her Helzberg Hall debut (she guest conducted the Kansas City Symphony about 20 years ago, in the old Lyric Theater).”
