  • About Me Chris Munce, (Artistic Director/Tenor) a Kansas City native, has been involved in local choral ensembles for over two decades. Chris is an accomplished choral performer and conductor and member of the Simon Carrington Chamber Singers, and former member of the Grammy Winning Kansas City Chorale and of the acclaimed Armonia Early Music Ensemble. Chris was fortunate to be a part of the Chorale's Grammy Nominated album, "Rheinberger: Sacred Choral Works," and Armonia's "Christmas of Ages Past," as well as Simon Carrington's yet to be released "Juxtapositions."

    Chris received a Bachelor's of Music Education from the UMKC Conservatory of Music. Following graduation, Chris became the Director of Choirs at Belton High School, after which he began study for his Masters Degree in Choral Conducting at the Conservatory. His research focus was on the performance practice of early Baroque choral singing in the French and Italian styles. During that time he served as adjunct faculty at the Conservatory teaching choral arranging, and at Blue River Community College as a professor of voice.

    Chris is now teaching at Lee's Summit High School as the Director of Choral Studies where his premier ensemble "Sounds of Summit" has recently performed at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC. Chris is also Director of Music at Lee's Summit First Presbyterian Church where he directs the Chancel Choir and Vesper Bells. He has been an active private voice instructor since 1999.

We are dedicated to educating audiences of all ages in music from the Medieval period through the 21st century through high quality performances by its professional vocal ensemble, Kantorei Choral Ensemble. Kantorei is largely unconducted which provides a unique connection to the audience, creating an unusually intimate performance and audience experience. Our concerts are all about the voices and the music. A pure listening delight!  less

They have been auditioned and selected from a program of 250 singers and identified as the cream of the crop based on their beauty of vocal tone, musical intelligence, sight reading ability and academic achievement. They are also instrumentalists, actors, athletes, student leaders and ambassadors of LSHS. Most importantly, they are students who are DEDICATED to being the best they can be. As a result of these high standards, Sounds of Summit has developed a reputation in Lee’s Summit and around the nation as one of the elite high school level performing ensembles. We are frequently asked to perform with UMKC’s Conservatory, as well as multiple appearances at the Missouri Music Educators Convention. We are also in high demand with community groups for performances around Christmas time. Most recently we were given the distinction being selected to perform at the Piccolo Spoleto Festiv...    less
