REVIEW: "Tonight’s concert by the Kansas City Baroque Consortium, “Music from Versailles: The Sun King’s Court,” was a beautiful reminder of what a special place Kansas City is for music. How many other cities the size of Kansas City can boast a period instrument ensemble that could perform the highly refined music of the French Baroque with such authority. This was music of the highest order.” —Patrick Neas, KC Star, KC Arts Beat
