When it comes down to it, Beethoven mixes well with beer. We seek to perform classical music in places you might not expect. From Monteverdi to Missy Mazzoli, our performances showcase a cross-section of genres, time periods, and styles and our chamber musicians perform everywhere from cafes and bars to record stores and wineries.

Classical Revolution KC is a non-profit chamber music organization that strives to share the importance of classical music in a live performance setting, while showcasing the talents of some of KC’s finest musicians.

After lamenting the lack of live performances of their favorite chamber music, founders Alyssa and Nick Bell joined with friends to juxtapose classical music with a decidedly non-traditional venue: a beloved local bar. The result was a success.

Each month our team puts on a live performance at Californos in Westport. Check our calendar for details. Recent collaborations with local artists as well as holding a solo recital series featuring acclaimed talent such as Adam Levin have allowed us to expand our vision. These performances give us a chance to share what we love with others, as well an opportunity to perform. It’s our sincere hope those who attend our performances will not only share a fun evening of music, but they will bring their friends the next time they come! Classical music has an image problem: it’s old, it’s tired, it’s formal, and can be seen as boring. Who better to convince the world otherwise than a team of talented young professionals?!
