To Light the World

Te Deum Chamber Choir puts the exclamation point on its 10th season with a program that showcases wide-ranging repertoire for choir and organ. The program will include William Walton’s The Twelve, James MacMillan’s Te Deum, and works by Tavener, Part, McDowell, and Dove. Concluding the concert will be a commissioned piece by award-winning German composer Ingrid Stolzel, with a text written in celebration of Te Deum’s 10th season by Dr. Robert Bode. To Light the World also will introduce Kansas City audiences to organist and composer Kurt Knecht, who brings national acclaim for his composing, teaching, and organ playing. The Sunday presentation will be Te Deum Chamber Choir’s first with the newly installed Richards, Fowkes & Co. organ at Village on Mission.
