The Kansas City Symphony performs at Wyandotte High School on Thursday, November 14 at 7pm. Join us for a 90-minute symphony concert featuring selections from Carmen, The Magic Flute, West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera and Swan Lake. All proceeds go directly to support the Wyandotte High School Orchestra program.

Through the Bill and Peggy Lyons Support School Music program, the Kansas City Symphony is able to make a gift to the community by sharing great music. The Symphony spends the day at a school in one of our area school districts, conducting an open rehearsal and working with music students throughout the district. Symphony musicians meet with students for question-and-answer sessions, giving them an inside look at careers in music. In the evening, the Symphony performs a public concert for the school district community. The Symphony conducts this program at no charge to the schools and all ticket proceeds are contributed to the district's music programs.

Since its inception in 2003, the Symphony's Support School Music program has raised more than $180,000 for 16 area school districts in Kansas and Missouri, contributing to the viability of those public school music programs and increasing awareness among nearly 20,000 residents concerning the importance of music-education programs. Although the event may transpire in a day, its impact is broad and long-lasting.
