New Symphony Venue Coming to 49th & Main
The Kansas City Symphony has announced plans to build a 4,600-seat performance venue at the southeast corner of 49th & Main, just south of the Plaza. Designed by Kansas City–based Populous, the venue is intended to host more than 100 events per year — touring artists, special performances, and community programming — with construction expected to start late 2026 and doors opening in 2028. The Symphony's regular season will remain at Helzberg Hall in the Kauffman Center.
