St. Louis classical calendar for the week of September 23, 2019

It's a short calendar this week, with both events featuring the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.

Kelley O'Connor
Stéphane Denève conducts The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and Chorus along with soloists Joélle Harvey (soprano) and Kelley O'Connor (mezzo-soprano) in a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 ("Resurrection") Friday and Saturday at 8 pm September 27 and 28. "The Emerson Concert Stage at Powell Hall is filled with SLSO musicians and the St. Louis Symphony Chorus. Audience members sit on the edge of their seats. A giant orchestra and chorus hold its collective breath. Then, suddenly, Denève and his musicians launch themselves into Mahler's journey of love, death and redemption. Live performances exist for moments like this." Performances take place at Powel Symphony Hall in Grand Center. For more information: stlsymphony.org.

The Washington University Department of Music presents The St. Louis Symphony on the South Forty at 5:30 pm on Monday, September 23. "Join students, faculty, staff, and community members for a night featuring string quartets from the St. Louis Symphony and Washington University in St. Louis." The event takes place on the outside patio at the Bear's Den on the Washington University campus. For more information: music.wustl.edu/events.
