Peter and the Wolf & Kansas City Symphony

Peter and the Wolf & Kansas City Symphony at Helzberg Hall - Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts

A boy, a wolf and a plucky group of animals make a much livelier concert invitation than “let's sit quietly.” Peter and the Wolf brings an adventure to Helzberg Hall, with the Kansas City Symphony supplying the music and familiar local mascots helping bring the story to life.

For a family outing, that's a combination with plenty to enjoy. Younger listeners have characters to follow and a wolf to wonder about. The music carries the tale, giving the concert a story children can get caught up in. You can introduce them to an orchestra through the fun of finding out what happens.

The mascots add a playful Kansas City twist. Seeing local favorites take part in Prokofiev's musical story gives this presentation its own hometown appeal. It's a cheerful meeting of concert-hall music and recognizable community characters, with both contributing to the adventure on stage.

And parents get a concert to enjoy alongside the kids. The Symphony's performance puts orchestral storytelling at the center of the afternoon, so the family plan includes music for you as well as an animal adventure for younger company. There's no need for everyone to arrive with the same favorite band.

Make February 21, 2027, an afternoon for a different kind of family adventure. Check Peter and the Wolf tickets at the Kauffman Center in Kansas City and let the Symphony take care of the storytelling.
