Pianist Emanuel Ax performs Mozart's Concerto No. 19 in F Major for Piano and Orchestra with Michael Stern and the Kansas City Symphony, May 2017.

This week we continue our celebration of May birthdays and May performances. We'll hear works by Mozart, Wagner and Mendelssohn. We'll also hear Erich Korngold's Symphonic Serenade in a virtual performance led by Kansas City Symphony Associate Conductor Jason Seber.

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.
