A Tradition of Giving Since 1742
In the spirit of Handel’s first Messiah—premiered as a charity concert in 1742—Spire invites you to support Children’s Mercy this season.
Bring a new, unwrapped toy or make a financial contribution at the December 23 performance. Your generosity brings joy, comfort, and moments of hope to children receiving care. (All items must be new, latex-free, odor-free, and in original packaging. See list of most-needed items and guidelines, here.)
Classical KC speaks with bass-baritone Jonathan Woody and Spire Chamber Ensemble founder and artistic director Ben Spalding about collaborating together and working to expand the choral cannon. We'll hear works by composers ranging from Palestrina to Stephen Paulus and Ken Burton.
