Crescendo is one of Kansas City's premier arts events, hosted by the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance at the beautiful Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. The event has raised millions for student scholarships. In 2018, nearly $226,000 was raised, and all of these gifts go directly to student scholarships.
Be sure to mark your calendar! The 2019 concert will take place Friday, November 8.
