Home isn’t just a place — it’s the people, stories, and traditions that make us who we are. We open our 23rd season with a program that celebrates belonging in all its forms. From sweeping soundscapes that evoke wide-open prairies to intimate, lyrical pieces that reflect personal journeys, each work invites you to think about the spaces and communities you call your own. This is music that feels familiar yet full of discovery, weaving together themes of love, memory, and shared identity. Whether you’ve lived in Kansas City your whole life or have just arrived, you’ll find something here that speaks to your sense of home.
