Heat wave! The Kansas City Symphony opens its Pops series with “Dancing in the Street: The Music of Motown,” a full-orchestra celebration of the sound that defined a generation — the Supremes, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and more.
With guest vocalists channeling Hitsville U.S.A. and the Symphony’s players trading their usual precision for pure groove, Helzberg Hall becomes the most elegant dance floor in the Midwest. Expect audiences on their feet for “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” before the night is out.
The Pops series remains the Symphony’s friendliest front door: familiar songs, world-class playing, and a night out that feels like a party with 1,600 of your closest friends.
Bring your best moves. The orchestra insists.
