Kantorei KC began in 2009 as a group of wedding singers, and has since grown to become one of the most respected arts organizations in the region, with tickets now on sale for their September 22 concert.

The talented group of musicians has an incredible mission: to educate audiences, enrich lives, build community and bring vitality to past and present through music of the highest professional quality. 

“We are educators. Beyond performance. We take our knowledge and pass it to the next generation through our educational outreach programs,” says Chris Munce, who co-founded the organization along with his wife Beth. “We have achieved a high level of local and international acclaim for our performances and recordings."

In 2013, the group expanded its program to include the Kantorei Summer Choral Institute, which attracts 150 young musicians from around the Midwest, as well as some of the world's top music educators, for a weeklong immersive day camp culminating with performances at Kansas City's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. 

Kantorei KC has also released three albums including, "To Bethlehem: Carols and Motets for Christmas," which The Observer of London called one of the "most interesting festive albums of the year."

Together, Chris and Beth are a power couple in the field of music, with strong ties to youth in the community. 

Chris is director of choral studies at Lee’s Summit High School, and host of the podcast Choralosophy a show where philosophy and music education meet. It launched in February and has quickly become one of the top-rated podcasts in the choral music scene.  Meanwhile, Beth runs one of the most sought-after vocal training studios in the Kansas City metro area. 

With a high artistic standard and commitment to innovative programming, This vocal ensemble is dedicated to the preservation of an art form they feel is vital. With their efforts and talent, they truly sing with flawless intonation, paired with appealing warmth and unique depth of sound.
