When KC’s original symphony orchestra was dissolved in 1982, the philanthropist R. Crosby Kemper Jr. insisted on creating the Kansas City Symphony. Since its formation, this new symphony orchestra has served as a vital part of the music community. Listen to their music at a show or sample before you purchase tickets by hearing their music on the radio or a CD.

Listening stations, touch screen interactives, custom mixing boards, and the John H. Baker Film Collection complement a year-round display of artifacts, graphics, and commissioned artwork. Visit the heart of historic Garden Grove to catch a show at the Gem Theater. See a quality production of theater, music or art (or a combination) at this intimate entertainment venue.

Get close to nature through the floral attractions at the Powell Gardens, where the whole family can get active as well as educated. Learn about the different plants, trees, vegetables, fruits and herbs as you walk through the gatehouse, perennial garden, harvest garden and more. Sneak in some exercise along the scenic Nature Trail or relax as the kids play in the interactive Fountain Garden.
