Charles Bruffy Leaves Both Chorales | Kansas City News

Charles Bruffy, the visionary conductor who led the Kansas City Chorale for 38 years and guided both the Chorale and Symphony Chorus for 17 years, has quietly stepped away — leaving a mystery in his wake. His sudden exit from the Symphony Chorus last fall, announced hours before a major performance, set a precedent of secrecy that now repeats with the smaller, Grammy-winning Chorale. With no public explanation, Bruffy’s name has vanished from the Chorale’s website and no successor has been named. As the group prepares for its next performance with Te Deum in October, insiders confirm he’s moved on to a new chapter — but the why remains shrouded in silence.
