Kansas City Sinfonietta

05/12/2026

KCietta has made the decision to postpone our upcoming May concert as we continue building toward an exciting future for the organization. We will notify everyone of the new date late this summer.

Thank you to everyone who supported us this season by coming to Winterreise in February and to our Kickoff Concert Series in August 2025. We can’t wait to bring more immersive and boundary-pushing performances to the Kansas City community.

To our Kickstarter donors: thank you for believing in the vision. We look forward to putting your contributions to work very soon.

Keep an eye out this summer for the announcement of 2026–27 events!

Yesterday we launched our Kickstarter (!!!) and we’re just getting started.

So who is Kansas City Sinfonietta?

We’re a chamber orchestra that tells complete stories through bold programming, new commissions, and collaborations rooted right here in Kansas City.

From our kickoff series in 2025…
to Winterreise in February…
to our season finale “(un)settling” inspired by the world around Copland’s Appalachian Spring…

We’re building something ambitious.

And we want you in it.

Announcing Kansas City Sinfonietta’s March Kickstarter Campaign! We are thrilled to bring (un)settling to Kansas City: a show that features Copland’s famous ballet Appalachian Spring and takes a closer look at the works surrounding its iconic story. Featuring a newly commissioned work by LA-based Julia Moss and KCietta Artistic Director Nicholas Perry Clark, it’s sure to be a concert you don’t want to miss.

Donate today to support a new local organization and bring this concert to life. Your financial support means the world to us, and you can earn some unique perks!

Experience Copland's "Appalachian Spring" alongside works from our time and help make this work possible in the 26-27 Season!
