Experience a powerful performance by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus under the direction of Philip Barnes as part of our Voices of Change series.
The season climaxes with a series of works advocating for equality between genders and races, and it champions new additions to the choral repertoire. No fewer than six of the works on the program have been written in the past ten years, culminating in a world premiere from Maria Granillo, our new ‘Composer-in-Residence,’ who teaches at the National University of Mexico. We have chosen a venue fitting this celebration of female artists, as The Link Auditorium started out life as The Wednesday Club of St. Louis, which had been created for a study group of women eager to educate themselves beyond the chauvinist walls of many schools in St. Louis. Artists like Sara Teasdale visited here, so it’s fitting that the chorus sings Howard Helvey’s madrigals that set her verses.
This concert celebrates equal representation through song, featuring tickets at $40 for general admission and $10 for students. Join this renowned ensemble for an afternoon of exceptional musicianship at the historic Link Auditorium on Sunday, May 31 at 3pm
