The Topeka Symphony Orchestra and the Topeka Festival Singers will begin new seasons with the orchestra presenting “A Night of Passion” on Saturday and the Singers offering “This and That” on Monday evening.
First up will be Kyle Wiley Pickett directing the symphony at the opening of its 71st season in what the maestro called “a real barn burner” of a concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in White Concert Hall on the campus of Washburn University.
