Published March 21, 2023 at 10:22 AM CDT

Violinist Anne Akiko Meyers performs with Michael Stern and the Kansas City Symphony in Helzberg Hall, March 2017

Join co-hosts Michael Stern and Dan Margolies as they trace two centuries of concertos and orchestral works that feature a soloist. Enjoy two double concertos from Antonio Vivaldi that showcase Kansas City Symphony members as soloists, a beautiful and devilish violin feature from Maurice Ravel, and Mozart's sublime "Piano Concerto No. 24." Also, hear two wonderful symphonies from Franz Joseph Haydn.

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.
