We present first results of a spectroscopic survey targeting K-selected galaxies at z=2.0-2.7 using the GNIRS instrument on Gemini-South. We obtained near-infrared spectra with a wavelength coverage of 1.0-2.5 micron for 26 K-bright galaxies (K<19.7) selected from the MUSYC survey using photometric redshifts. We successfully derived spectroscopic redshifts for all 26 galaxies using rest-frame optical emission lines or the redshifted Balmer/4000 Angstrom break. Twenty galaxies have spectroscopic redshifts in the range 2.0
