Ensemble members and guests enjoyed an exclusive Quattro Corsi (Four-Course) Italian Chef’s Table dinner in Brandmeyer Great Hall at the Kauffman Center this week. Executive Chef Justin Voldan and his team crafted a menu with rich seasonal flavors, including a composed salad with an heirloom tomato, white peach and burrata; brown-butter agnolotti filled with sweet corn and mascarpone; red wine-braised beef cheek and polenta; and strawberry tiramisu for dessert. RSM US LLP is the sponsor of the Chef’s Table dinner series, which is hosted three times each year for Ensemble members.

Yoga at the Kauffman Center, sponsored by Premier Partner Saint Luke's Health System, wrapped up the summer with two restorative sessions under sunny skies, stunning views of the city and boundless energy. Both sessions in Brandmeyer Great Hall offered the perfect setting to pause, stretch, breathe and unwind. Yoga instructor Joni Rauen and musician Brooke Knoll deserve a round of applause for creating a relaxing and uplifting experience for the sold-out crowd.

Thank you to the Saint Luke’s team for helping us take care of our hearts and minds and for offering free blood pressure checks.
