“Fantasia Live” at Kansas City’s Kauffman Center

Disney shares one of its crown jewels of feature animation with a live orchestra concert accompanying scenes from Walt Disney's original Fantasia (1940) and Disney’s Fantasia 2000 in Kansas City’s Helzberg Hall in the Kauffman Center.

Performing the classical repertoire of the two films is the Kansas City Symphony. The music includes Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite. Other iconic moments from Disney’s stunning footage, such as Mickey Mouse as he dabbles in magic in Dukas' The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and the mythical unicorns and winged horses that accompany Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, will be shown in high definition on the big screen.
