Dudley’s Dish – Today, we need you more than ever

Our voices sing for progress, your support makes us stronger. Welcome to season 39 and the wonderful legacy that is the Heartland Men’s Chorus Kansas City!

We remain hopeful and steadfast in our vision of singing to inspire a world of love and acceptance. And while that seems daunting at the present time, we must sing on. We are so excited about the season that we have planned for you! The chorus sounds incredible in their preparation for the holiday concert, and I personally can’t wait for Y’all Means All in March. But now, more than ever, we look forward to our DO IT WITH HEART TOUR early this summer, bringing music that matters to communities of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, where LGBTQ+ voices fight to be heard. But wait – there’s more! Ignite the Night – Evening of Note 2025 is coming on Saturday, January 11 at the historic Midland Theatre! And we are so excited to announce our special guest and entertainer, Nina West! It’s going to be a fabulous time, and we’re excited for you to experience it.

In order to make all of this happen (especially the tour) I hope that you will support HMCKC in any way that you can. Ticket sales only provide 33% of our revenue, meaning every contribution – no matter the size – makes a significant impact.

Please consider making a donation today by visiting hmckc.org and clicking the donate button. Please consider making your gift a recurring one, but whatever you can give, I thank you for making a difference!

Audrey Lorde once said “Only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. And that is not speaking.” We must sing on – but today, we need you more than ever.
