Gershwin's Magic Key

Brian and I took Christopher to the Kauffman Center this afternoon to see "Gershwin's Magic Key." It was a part of the Kansas City Symphony's Family Series and the show starred the symphony as well as a pianist and two actors, one of which played George Gershwin. It was a great show and taught the kids a lot about Gershwin as a composer. Before the show started, they have tables where the kids can try out different instruments. Chris was really fired up to play the cello and also tried the viola, snare drum and gong...

Helzberg Hall is a really cool venue to watch the symphony and they even have seats in the choral section, where we sat today. Even though it is behind the orchestra, you can see everything and even the music that the musicians were playing. It was a fun afternoon!
