It was a pleasure having the string quartet Innocenti Strings perform at the Ensemble PNC Pop-Up this week at the Kauffman Center. From the networking reception to the private performance, both held in Brandmeyer Great Hall, the quartet set the mood with their modern twist on classical music. Some of the more popular songs included "Beautiful Day" by U2, "Don’t Stop Believin'" by Journey, "Hey Jude" by The Beatles and "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. Ensemble is the Kauffman Center’s business membership program consisting of 80 businesses in the KC metro area and is presented by PNC. Businesses join Ensemble to network with others, grow their business, reward their employees and support the arts. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/g6Fe3AbE.

Patrons enjoyed the artistry of world-renowned musician and Grammy-nominated organist Cameron Carpenter in the Kauffman Center’s Helzberg Hall on Tuesday.
