The St. Louis Symphony continues its 2011-2012 season this weekend, and you can be right there with them from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, March 31.
On select Saturday evenings, St. Louis Public Radio broadcasts the Symphony's performance over the air, bringing you a live classical music experience wherever you are.
Here's what's in store for you this weekend - a program highlighting the St. Louis Symphony Chorus:
BACH Mass in B minor
The Symphony has this bit of info on the piece: "Composed in the final year of Bach’s life, the monumental Mass in B minor inspires audiences regardless of background as a spiritual masterpiece."
David Robertson will conduct the Symphony in their performance, with director Amy Kaiser leading the St. Louis Symphony Chorus. The following choral artists will be featured:
- Susanna Phillips, soprano
- Kate Lindsey, mezzo-soprano
- Nicholas Phan, tenor
- Stephen Powell, baritone
You can follow along with the broadcast yourself with this version of the same program symphony-goers have in the seats at Powell Hall. (below)
Happy listening at 90.7 FM on air or online here! You can also follow along with our host, Robert Peterson, as he live tweets the broadcasts at@RobertPeterson3.
