It is through the generosity of local foundations and the incredible support of individual donors like you that Te Deum is able to perform spiritually compelling and virtuosic performances right here in Kansas City. Your donation stays in the local community as we turn your investment into stipends paid directly to our local professional singers throughout the season.
