Members of the Kansas City Symphony Alliance posed with Symphony executive director Frank Byrne at the 2009 Pops in the Park concert on Labor Day weekend of 2009.
Please join the Kansas City Symphony Alliance for the Symphony’s opening performance of the year, its
Pops in the Park concert on
Saturday, September 4 at Shawnee Mission Park.
Bring your lawn chair, picnic supper, drink and your own fun self and join us at Shawnee Mission Park about 5:00 p.m. The park can get pretty crowded the closer it gets to concert time, so the earlier you get there, the better your view of the concert.
Look for the KCSA/FOS banner which marks our reserved spot. We will have a spot waiting for you! Meet and greet other KCSA members, share your summer vacation stories and pictures, and enjoy a fabulous pop concert–all free of charge! Hey, where could you find a better deal?
If you have questions call Linda Hartman, the Membership Vice President for the Kansas City Symphony Alliance, at (816) 537-4483. We hope to see you there that evening, along with your goodies and lawn chair!

Did you know that members of the Kansas City Symphony Alliance get a $5 discount off ticket prices for Kansas City Symphony classical and pops series concerts? It’s true! The discount is $5 per ticket for season subscriptions to either the classical or pops series (limit of 2 per KCSA membership) and $5 per ticket for single ticket purchases to either classical or pops concerts (limit of 2 per KCSA membership). Just call the Kansas City Symphony box office at (816) 471-0400 and tell them that you are a KCSA member (they probably know that already) and you’ll get your discount! (Not good on premium-priced seats or seats in the lowest-price section.)
This is just another reason to join KCSA! Check out our “Join Us” page on this web site!

The Kansas City Symphony Alliance and the Friends of the Symphony, an immediately prior antecedent organization, donated over $110,000 to the Kansas City Symphony during the 2009-2010 year! These donations represented the proceeds of the Symphony Designers’ Showhouse, in the case of the prior KCSA, and the Symphony Shop, Celebration at the Station and other fund raising events, in the case of the Friends of the Symphony. Congratulations to all of our members and volunteers who made these generous donations possible!
The new KCSA, formed by a merger of the original KCSA and the Friends of the Symphony, has elected Sue Shinkle to be its first President. For a full listing of our officers and Board of Directors members, please see the page entitled Our Officers and Board. These officers serve on the Board of Directors for one year terms, and hold their particular officer positions for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2010.
The 41st annual Symphony Designer Showhouse, held this past April and May by the original KCSA which is one of the new KCSA’s predecessor organizations, welcomed over approximately 10,000 guests to the Designers’ Showhouse. We thank the literally dozens of volunteers who helped make this possible. Congratulations!
An enthusiastic young audience member from last year's Pops in the Park concert at Shawnee Mission Park.
