Kansas Public Radio invites you to experience the joys of classical music with us and our community during Live Day! Join us on Friday, Oct. 25, for an entire day of classical music concerts, featuring performances by the talented musicians that call our community home.
The live performances begin at 9 a.m. in the KPR studios, then at 10 a.m., we welcome you to the Lawrence Public Library Auditorium for hour-long classical music concerts, free and open to the public, kicking off at 10 a.m., 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.
And to cap off the evening, join us back at the library at 7 p.m. for a haunting Halloween-themed concert with violinist, and host of KPR’s Evening Classical, Destiny Ann Mermagen and her special guests. Featuring a costume contest, tricks, treats and spooky sounds abound. Free and open to the public, as space allows.
