More than 400 guests gathered at the Kansas City Convention Center on September 11th for the Symphony League of Kansas City’s 39th annual Symphony Ball. This year’s theme was “Stardust,” with a nod to 1920’s America. Marylou Turner was the honorary chairman, and Melanie Fenske served as the chairman. In addition to a performance by Maestro Michael Stern and the Kansas City Symphony, the evening featured an auction, dinner, and dancing to the musical stylings of Lost Wax.
