KC Baroque wins Outreach Grants from Early Music America and the Martha Lee Cain Tranby Fund

In 2019, the Kansas City Baroque Consortium was one of eight ensembles nationwide awarded an Early Music America mini-grant to present special outreach projects during “Early Music Month” in March.

With the additional support of the Martha Lee Cain Tranby Foundation, KCBC presented “Swirls, Twirls, Stomps, and Curls: The Ins and Outs of Baroque Style” to young music students at Harmony Project KC and Blue Valley Middle School.

KCBC presented a mini-concert and workshop for these young musicians exploring core elements of music expression, and we offered an up close look at how string instruments and the harpsichord are made.

For more information about our outreach projects, or to inquire about an outreach visit from members of KCBC, please contact us at kcbaroque@gmail.com.
