Name: The Lost Words: A Spell Book
Start: 2026-04-26T15:00:00-05:00

Once upon a time, words relating to nature — dandelion, bluebell, acorn — began disappearing from the Oxford Junior Dictionary, and were replaced by words relating to the digital world — broadband, blog, voicemail. Through the magic of being spoken, sung and seen in beautiful illustrations, the lost words will be summoned back into the mouths and imaginations of children and adults alike.
Narrated by Emmy Award-winning TV Journalist and Life Coach, Jill Farmer
Chamber Ensemble: Hannah Frey, violin, Wendy Hymes, flute/piccolo, Tricia Jostlëin, horn, Mary Bryant, clarinet/bass clarinet, Randy Gindler, percussion.

Christ Church Cathedral

<blockquote>In a secular salute to the new monarch of Great Britain, ten poets and ten composers were invited to create a suite of modern madrigals, modeled after the collection for Elizabeth I that was published in 1601. The resulting tribute was titled “A Garland for the Queen,” and first performed on the eve of the Coronation in 1953. Although individual movements have been sung in St. Louis before now, never before has the complete suite been presented in St. Louis. However, in recognition of Elizabeth’s 100th birthday (she was born 21st April 1926), the Chamber Chorus performs all ten madrigals, complemented by similar tributes by William Byrd, Vaughan Williams and the Nigerian composer, Vincent Chinemelu.A highlight of this concert will be a new commission from a British woman composer, Sasha Johnson Manning, that sets Psalm 90, one of whose verses, “thou art come to three score years and ten,” is particularly appropriate as the Chamber Chorus is currently celebrating its seventieth season, matching Elizabeth II’s reign of seven decades. Johnson Manning is flying here from England for the premiere, and concertgoers will be able to meet and greet the composer at the performance on Sunday, 19th April at 3 pm in that most English of St. Louis churches, Christ Church Cathedral downtown, at 1210 Locust St.</blockquote>

The J - Chesterfield Gym & Fitness Center

Did you like the movies, Catch Me If You Can, The Big Short or The Wolf of Wall Street? Don Mitchell, Certified Public Accountant and Certified Fraud Examiner, provides a practical look at industry fraud and corruption. He discusses real-life examples, including common “red flags” and patterns (that often signal illegal activity), step-by-step investigations and reports (from initial suspicion through evidence-gathering and analysis), and recoveries (recovering losses and mitigating future risks). Don’t forget: when warning signs are missed, fraud – which impacts businesses and organizations of all sizes – can remain hidden for years! No cost to register for this Mirowitz Center program, but RSVP required.

The blues legend is having a major career moment with his involvement in the hit film written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan, “Sinners”; the now Grammy Nominated album with multi-platinum artist Kenny Wayne Shepherd titled “Young Fashioned Ways”; his first-ever Grand Ole Opry performance with Shepherd; and a 2025 Austin City Limits performance.

Austin City Limits is the longest-running music show on television, airing Saturday nights on PBS.
Rush has become one of the most prominent advocates for the blues tradition and says, “It’s the root of all music, it’s the mother of all music.
