    LEAWOOD, KS –(Nov. 2, 2012) BMO Private Bank and the Kansas City Symphony are proud to announce a partnership for the 2012-2013 season, which includes lead sponsorship of the Symphony's new Classics Uncorked chamber orchestra series to be held in Helzberg Hall, and support of the Symphony Business Council.

    Kelli Glynn, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for BMO Private Bank commented, "Kansas City has become a world class fine arts destination punctuated by the performances of the Kansas City Symphony in Helzberg Hall under the direction of Michael Stern.  We are privileged to partner with the Symphony and demonstrate BMO's continued dedication to our vibrant arts community."

We thank BMO Private Bank for their leadership and vision for Kansas City and our community."
