One of Mozart’s most brilliant orchestral scores\, this magnificent\, extravagant opera-in-concert production combines the talents of the SLSO\, a cast of acclaimed vocalists\, and the “impeccable” (KDHX) St. Louis Symphony Chorus.

DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore Davis’s pivotal role in bebop (playing with Charlie Parker)\, the development of cool jazz\, his time at Juilliard\, and how his collaborations shaped modern jazz. Kahn’s extensive work on his literary work inspired by the recording Kind of Blue makes him an ideal choice to connect historical aspects with the artistic innovations.
