Tuba Christmas

Host Brooke Knoll speaks with Stephanie Brimhall from the Kansas City Symphony and Tuba Christmas, as well as Frank Perez and Will Biggs from Trombone Christmas, about the genesis of each event and what it takes to coordinate these massive low brass extravaganzas. We'll also hear inspiring memories about past performances and a selection of low brass holiday music.

Celebrate another holiday season in Kansas City with festive light displays, merry markets and musical events across the metro.

Principal tuba Joe LeFevre joins hosts Michael Stern and Dan Margolies for a program of Gershwin, Rachmaninoff, Kernis and Dvořák. Joe describes the excitement of his debut with the orchestra and how much he enjoys playing Dvořák's "New World Symphony," even though he only plays a total of fourteen notes.
