MUSIC AND DANCE
From its humble first concert in 1953 in São Paulo, Brazil,
the Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo has grown
into international fame, in part to the vision and direction
of Marin Alsop, the US conductor who transformed the
Baltimore Symphony. The Series continues to provide
rare artistic experiences for Kansas City audiences, and
to be the first to bring these performances to you. This
orchestral performance marks three debuts for Kansas
City: the Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo’s
debut in Kansas City, the first time the Villa-Lobos
Harmonica Concerto will be performed in the city, and the
highly anticipated debut of Marin Alsop on a Kansas City
conductor’s podium.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a now-fabled performance in March 1958 at the 92nd
Street YMCA in New York City. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African American modern
dancers, that performance forever changed the perception of American dance. The Ailey company has
gone on to perform for an estimated 25 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six
continents – and has reached millions more online and through television broadcasts and localized
branches of the organization, like our local Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey. Today, the company
continues Mr. Ailey’s mission by presenting important works of the past and commissioning new ones.
In all, more than 200 works by over 80 choreographers have been part of the Ailey company’s repertory.
