About the Kansas City Baroque Consortium

Kansas City Baroque Consortium (KCBC) was formed in 2009 to explore period performance on original instruments from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.

As the only locally based performing instrumental ensemble that specializes in period performance, the group has grown to include fifteen regular, local musicians.

From 2009-2012, KCBC served as the ensemble-in-residence for the Jewell Early Music Summer Festival, a music festival and educational workshop founded and directed by KCBC's founder Trilla Ray-Carter.

The ensemble quickly found itself in demand as a collaborative partner with Kansas City's many choral ensembles, including KC Collegium Vocale, Te Deum Choir, Musical Vocale, and the Village Church Choir.

KCBC has performed regularly for the annual Messiah Sing Along at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral and for the annual Bachathon presented by the Kansas City American Guild of Organists (AGO).

In January of 2016, the ensemble became a registered non-profit, and presents an annual summer concert series. With appearances on many local concert series, including the Ruel Joyce Recital Series at JCCC, Westport Arts Center Recital Series, the St. Andrew's Happy Hour Concert Series, and Noon Recital Series at Village Presbyterian, KCPC provides important work opportunities for local musicians and offers our community greater access to the specialized art form.
