Diastole

I've been coming to this intimate music venue since the spring of 2012 and wish I had known about it when I frost moved here in 2008. Alas, I will be moving out-of-state in the not so distant future and I can confidently say without hesitation that Diastole is THE gem in Kansas City. It is a magical place to listen to UMKC graduate and PhD music students perform in a very intimate setting. You are literally on the same plane a few feet away from the performers and the acoustics resonates perfectly. When you are present at one of these performances you wish that it will never end. It is like going to the spa for your mind. Enjoy.

It's such a great place to hold an event, it's hard to capture in words. The facility is great, with lots of cool artifacts from Dr. Dimond's collection. The Kiva is a fun place to have a meeting where people can relax away from their normal surroundings. The garden area is beautiful and a wonderful place for reflection.

This is really a beautiful venue at UMKC Hospital Hill campus. I was just here for a reception following an event at the SOM. The interior is beautifully decorated, and the catering staff was pleasant. Though we did not have any live music performances here, I can imagine that it would be an amazing experience. I agree, that this really is a gem!
