St Louis Symphony Celebrates Black History Month

Special performances scheduled at Powell Hall February 8 and February 10

The first takes place Wednesday, February 8 at 7pm. The free On Stage at Powell event highlights traces the story of music from Africa to North America. The performance is a MetLife Music Without Boundaries event, and received additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Symphony’s annual Lift Every Voice concert takes place Friday, February 10 at 7pm.
