St. Louis Chamber Chorus Announces Season of Six Discussions

St. Louis Chamber Chorus has announced its 65th season, comprised of six discussions with Artistic Director Philip Barnes and other special guests from around the globe that will feature archival recordings of the choir and be complemented with a display of original images.

The series will highlight the chorus' unique role in the cultural life of St. Louis and the wider artistic community, will introduce you to recordings (many previously unavailable to the public), will offer you a deeper understanding of the Chamber Chorus, and will explain how the chorus' music is brought to life in performance.
