The symphony’s principle pianist Emi Kagawa will perform Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A before closing with Symphony No. 3, “Organ Symphony.” Tickets range in price from $29-49.

At 3 p.m. Sunday, the symphony will perform Missouri Finest, America’s Best, which will open with a performance of the Star Spangled Banner led by a community vocalist, before going into a variety of works celebrating America, from John Williams’ Superman’s Theme to Stars and Stripes Forever. Tickets range in price from $39-$59.
