Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art
Celebrate Te Deum’s artistry and the transformative power of choral music at Lumine, Te Deum’s signature fundraising gala. Lumine raises vital support for our professional singers, allowing us to inspire and enrich Kansas City through compelling and thought-provoking performances.
Refraction of Sound will be an immersive artistic experience unlike any other! Guests will experience a live choral performance in a museum gallery, where sound will bend, reflect, and shimmer through the architecture and surrounding art. The evening will begin at 6:00 pm with drinks and bites in the Atrium. Following the choral performance, the evening will continue with an elegant, seated dinner crafted by award-winning chef Ted Habiger of Oil on Linen.
