Kim Evans, currently in her 4th year of teaching at Lafayette High School, graduated from
J.C.Penney High School in 2003 and Missouri Western State University in 2008 with a B.S. in
Vocal Music Education and Piano Performance. While at the University, Kim was a member of the
Concert Chorale under the direction of Frank Thomas, the Chamber Singers, under the direction of
Dr. David Benz, the St. Joseph Community Chorus, and participated in the SWACDA honor choirs in
St. Louis and Kansas City. She is an active member of MCDA, MMEA and NAfME. Kim has performed
at MMEA with the St. Joseph Community Chorus, the All Collegiate Choir and with the Missouri
Western State University Chamber Singers.
Her responsibilities at Lafayette include directing the choral program, assisting with the all school
musical and coaching girls golf. Her students have performed in the MCDA district and state choirs.
She and two of her students traveled to New York City this past year to perform at Carnegie Hall
in the National Honor Choir under the direction of Eph Ely. Since coming to Lafayette, the number
of students in the choral program has increased by 50 per cent. Participation in solo and small
ensemble music contest has also increased dramatically. The choirs have consistently earned I
ratings at contest. In addition, the Chamber Choir performs annually in Verses and Voices, a
program that promotes the work of Missouri poets, composers and artists.
This is Kim’s first appearance at MMEA with her own choir and the first time the LHS Concert
Concert has been invited to perform here.
