Kauffman Center Spotlight, Spotlight Premier and Ensemble members kicked off their Thanksgiving week in exuberant fashion at Monday’s Spotlight Members Concert & Holiday Reception, featuring The Freedom Affair. The nine-member soul ensemble’s energetic performance had audience members clapping and singing along with the band in Helzberg Hall. After the performance, members enjoyed drinks and a hot chocolate bar, along with festive cookies, pumpkin cheesecake bites and more, in Brandmeyer Great Hall alongside the band members. ??

Patrons enjoyed the artistry of world-renowned musician and Grammy-nominated organist Cameron Carpenter in the Kauffman Center’s Helzberg Hall on Tuesday. We are still awestruck from the breathtaking sounds created from the Julia Irene Dennie-Kauffman Casavant Organ, Opus 3875.
