Celebrate Te Deum’s artistry and the transformative power of choral music at Lumine, Te Deum’s signature fundraising event. Lumine offers a fusion of music, art, and upscale dining, raising vital support for our professional singers and allowing us to inspire and enrich Kansas City through compelling and thought-provoking performances.
Guests will begin the night with a selection of beer and wine before enjoying an immersive concert experience throughout the museum. Attendees will then transition to a seated dinner in the museum’s Atrium, dining alongside their guests and Te Deum singers amidst striking contemporary art
