Bachtoberfest celebrates autumn, Bach, and the composers who shaped him—or were shaped by him. The program centers on Bach’s cantata Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (BWV 106), alongside works by Johannes Brahms and Buxtehude that meditate on the late year: endings, reflection, and hindsight.

This is a free concert and no tickets are required.

Choral Collaborations

Our performances with the region's finest choral ensembles and presenting organizations have been, and continue to be, KC Baroque’s of our most meaningful collaborative endeavors.

Since forming in 2009, KC Baroque has participated in over 50 collaborative performances with area ensembles including William Jewell Choirs and Cardinalis with Anthony Maglione, UMKC Choirs with Robert Bode, and Musica Vocale with Jay Carter and Ryan Olsen. Some of our most memorable performances have been those with Te Deum Chamber Ensemble under the direction of Matthew Christopher Shepard.


Charlotte House Series

Charlotte House Series (CHS) is a fantastic Kansas City-based nonprofit bringing intimate, salon-style concerts into homes throughout the region. These events highlight some of the best artists that Kansas City, as well as the United States, have to offer.

In 2023, KCBC and Charlotte House Series will be partnering to bring the joy of Baroque music into accessible spaces aimed at deepening our connection with our audience. CHS said it best: “Through attending concerts in local living rooms and intimate spaces we hope you enjoy a new way of experiencing music, the old way.”
