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

Our Audience Reviews are in! Here is just a sample!
“My words cannot match the beauty of your musical performance. An evening of auditory and visual pleasure! Always grateful for the experience.” ~ M.M
“I was blown away by the whole program. It was beautiful music. It was fun. I cannot compliment you enough for all the work you do to provide the quality of this performance for us. And, the bountiful treats after the concert were worthy of the music performed!!” ~S.C.
“Your concerts have been magnificent!! The program notes and pre-notes that you send via e-mail add so much to the understanding of the era and provide context for the evolution of the early Baroque numbers that your outstanding and talented group of professionals present for us. It really is a thrilling experience to learn how the music we enjoy developed from these foundations. The Hapsburg map of Venice was a revelation!! We are so fortunate here in Kansas City to have your wonderful ensemble, which I appreciate and value so much. Thank you for your leadership.” ~ E.W.
“Oh!! What FUN!! Your last concert of the season was WONDERFUL!! The K. C. Baroque Consortium series makes me so happy, but I’m sad the season is over. I love the reception afterwords too. The food is creative and beautiful and that cool coffee was perfect! Those folks do a wonderful job getting the treats to ALL the people. I LOVE what you do for us. This was a tremendously beautiful summer season. See you next time!” ~ JLT
