Michael Stern conducts the Kansas City Symphony in Helzberg Hall.

This week, Igor Stravinsky pulls the musical strings with his groundbreaking ballet "Pétrouchka," and Antonin Dvořák's melodies soar through Helzberg Hall in a performance of his Symphony No. 6. We'll also hear the Kansas City Symphony perform Josef Suk's "Scherzo fantastique" and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Capriccio espagnol."

An agreement with the Kansas City Symphony allows us to share audio for this program up to four weeks after the program's original air date. You can listen to currently available episodes here.
