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.
