KC Baroque Initiatives
As we plan for 2025 and beyond, will you support KC Baroque’s important initiatives?
Performers Fund
We are proud to invest in local and regional early music specialists, offering historically informed performances on period instruments. Our three-concert Summer Series features highly skilled artists bringing you works of exquisite beauty and elegant refinement. In response to your enthusiasm for this marvelous music, we are inspired to continue our ensemble’s growth, supporting our artists with fair wages for their time and talent. We need your help to do so!
Educational Outreach
Community projects are an inspiring part of our service to the KC community. We engage with students in districts that are in most need of support, offering in-school performances and workshops. In 2024, we offered the Baroque Music Intensive, an opportunity for advanced string students to participate in side-by-side rehearsals and a performance with our professional members. If you attended our August concert, you heard our featured students, the Fang Brothers Trio. They also joined the full ensemble for the program finale of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4. Join us in investing in our community’s youth!
Community Outreach
Making sure people throughout Kansas City have access to KC Baroque’s unique musical offering is a core part of our mission. Whether it’s an annual concert presented free to the public or occasional performances in outlying areas, these free concerts make the arts accessible to all. Would you join us in supporting our outreach performances?
Choral Collaborations
Joining together with outstanding choral ensembles in the area like Cardinalis, Te Deum, Musica Vocale, UMKC vocal programs, and Bachathon (sponsored by the Greater KC Chapter of the American Guild of Organists) offers our community the rare opportunity of experiencing the great choral master works presented with a period ensemble!
Administrative Leadership
As activities expand onstage and in the community, our support for operational staff must also grow. We are committed to establishing fair wages for our small staff to undertake the exceptional planning, production, and artistic guidance required to produce the wonderful concerts full of great music that you love so much. This is an important way to support the growth and development of Kansas City’s only professional period ensemble!
