Announcing
our 2026 Season!
SHIMMER
April 10th & 12th

"Shimmer” illuminates the stage with works from “The Lavender Scores”—a bold new educational initiative celebrating the voices of LGBTQIA+ composers. These special concerts highlight the next generation of artistry by featuring collaborative performances with area high school choirs and showcasing visual and performing student artists from across the Kansas City metro. “Shimmer” will also mark a major milestone for KC VITAs as we will present our 100th world premiere since 2015!
when we arrive at home
After a decade of championing new choral music and amplifying underrepresented voices, KC VITAs released its debut album "when we arrive at home" on Neuma Records. More than just a recording, the album is a resonant reflection on the ensemble’s first ten years: a curated tapestry of standout works and composers whose music has shaped the ensemble’s identity and artistic legacy.
Each piece on the album was selected to embody the ensemble’s mission: to bring vital, emotional, and boundary-expanding choral music into the world. Spanning from the lush and tonal to the avant-garde, some works are long-standing companions from earlier premieres; others are fresh additions from composers across the United States. Together, they form a singular portrait of what new music can do—how it can hold grief, wonder, protest, memory, and the unspoken truths of our lives.
"when we arrive at home" is available on all streaming platforms and for purchase here! Also check out recent reviews from The Record Artists Guild and Amplified Magazine!
