KC VITAs
an ensemble for new music
KC VITAs is seeking choral compositions by LGBTQIA+ composers for choirs of any difficulty level (elementary-professional) and voicing up to SSAATTBB (including Treble and Tenor/Bass ensembles up to SSAA or TTBB!) Scores will be accepted from June 1st, 2025 until 11:59pm on June 30th, 2025 and considered for KC VITAs’ “Shimmer” and other future concerts, and considered for the inaugural “Lavender Scores” series!
The Lavender Scores is an ongoing project aimed at addressing the lack of representation of LGBTQIA+ composers in choral music. The broad spectrum of queer identities and musical styles are reflected through the curation of educational anthologies for choirs from elementary to professional levels. As a pedagogical resource and a call to action, The Lavender Scores empowers choral directors with contextual and instructional approaches for each selection, affirming that inclusive programming is not only possible but essential to a more just and vibrant choral tradition.
