The St. Louis Chamber Chorus presents Love, a concert of music written by and for friends, on Sunday, February 17, at 3 pm. "While two works rue the challenges of finding a husband, one from 17th century England (Vautor) and another from 20th century Hungary (Béla Bartók), other pieces explore betrothals-a hymn to Juno, goddess of marriage, by the Renaissance master, Orlandus Lassus, and a series of ballads by a towering figure of German Romanticism, Robert Schumann." The concert takes place at Ladue Chapel Presbyterian Church, 9450 Clayton Rd. For more information: www.chamberchorus.org.
