Te Deum is thrilled to be featured in a Flatland article highlighting the depth of sacred music performances available to Kansas City audiences. The article titled “Kansas City’s ‘Stunning’ Array of Sacred Music” prominently features Te Deum concert images and an interview with Executive & Artistic Director Matthew Christopher Shepard.
“Matthew Shepard, artistic director of the choral group Te Deum, says that ‘almost anything can be considered sacred in the right context.’ He also notes that the famous 20th-century theologian Paul Tillich believed that the word sacred means ‘that which deals with ultimate concern.’ And that, Shepard says, is the music Te Deum seeks to present.”
We are grateful to author and faith columnist Bill Tammeus for including Te Deum in this curated feature. Flatland is a nonprofit news source powered by Kansas City PBS.
