KC Open Stage
The KC Open Stage is a vibrant evening where all department Open Stages come together. It’s not an “open mic” for spontaneous jamming, but a platform where students—fully organized by themselves—try out new repertoire, present freshly formed ensembles, or share a piece they’re working on with an audience for the very first time.
Expect short sets, quick changeovers, and a mix of styles: classical next to jazz, early music alongside electronics, and everything in between. That’s exactly what makes these evenings so special: in one go, you’ll experience the breadth and imagination of our students.
Join us to discover, cheer, and enjoy. You’re warmly invited!
