QUEEN CITY CHORALE

What are people saying?

  • Joey Powell | Dickerson Park Zoo, Marketing Director

    “Partnering with Queen City Chorale was one of the highlights of Dickerson Park Zoo's 100th birthday celebration. They are incredibly professional--on time, prepared--and incredibly talented. Whether you have something in mind, or don't know exactly what sound you want or where to start, start by contacting Queen City Chorale. Great people; great voices; great addition to your event or party.”

  • Cameron LaBarr | Missouri State University, Director of Choral Studies

    “The musicians in the Queen City Chorale are completely engaged in putting forth the best possible musical art, through emotional connection and highly-skilled technique. Concerts are thoughtful and never quite what one would expect from a choral event.” n goes here

  • Jared Swope | Yale University

    “My experience with the Queen City Chorale was invaluable during my time in Springfield. Drawing people from numerous professions and schedules, the Queen City Chorale provided a unique opportunity for high-level artistry to occur in a condensed schedule. Though our time in rehearsal is brief, the culminating product comes from a like-minded vision from every member of the ensemble. I loved that no two concerts or rehearsals ever felt the same, yet somehow we always felt a familial tie to the musicians and music involved. Through these efforts, the Queen City Chorale has provided and will continue to provide Springfield and the greater choral community with a lasting artistic impact for years to come.”

  • Trudy Tunnell | Redeemer Lutheran Church, Music Director

    "I am a retired vocal music teacher and currently a church music director and have attended hundreds of choir concerts over the years. I was especially impressed and moved by the high quality of singing and musical sensitivity of this ensemble. Their Christmas program was truly amazing with only one Saturday rehearsal. I could hear and see the love and dedication of these singers to the art of vocal music and will never forget the excellent programing and energetic director. I can't wait to attend their next concert!"

  • Hunter Johnson | Indiana Jacobs School of Music

    “In all of my years as a choral singer, my short time spent performing with the Queen City Chorale has involved some of my favorite musical experiences. This ensemble perfectly pairs a high standard of excellence with a caring and compassionate choral culture. The performances put on by the Queen City Chorale speak beyond the technical prowess and musical complexity of Kenny Kabak’s wonderful programming, reaching out to the audience with impactful emotional resonances and a clear sense of catharsis. Performing in the ensemble is no less healing. For me, this is a beautiful opportunity to be a part of something greater than myself.”

  • Heather Hamilton | Hazelwood East High School, Choir Director

    “Being part of Queen City Chorale has been a transformative experience. Springfield has some of the most incredible choral musicians and I was always envious of never getting to work with them since I lived out of town. After some persuasion on Kenny's part, I was able to make the trip for a weekend to rehearse and perform with QCC. Since then, I've participated in every project thus far, each of which has been musically challenging and inspiring. Singing under Kenny's direction is a true honor and pleasure. His passion for choral music and the singers is so clear and I consider myself blessed to have been a part of such an incredible and unique experience.”
