UMKC Conservatory – Crescendo Brilliant Together

November 3rd was the date for the UMKC Conservatory’s Crescendo Brilliant Together, which was held at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Co-chairs Bev and Erik Elving and Peter Bali and JoZach Miller created a 1920’s-themed soiree to delight the senses, complete with a performance featuring the UMKC Conservatory’s faculty and staff, followed by a gourmet dinner. Proceeds support student scholarships at the Conservatory.
