"What an incredible opportunity for all concerned...first and foremost for the young children to be on stage with a full symphony orchestra, and secondly for the students of the Conservatory, providing precisely the kind of educational experience they will be doing the rest of their lives! I see this as a great opportunity for Kansas City, the future of the arts, to the students at UMKC and the community, and enthusiastically endorse the endeavor."

 

Robert Olson, UMKC Conservatory Orchestra Director
