The Chamber Project + The Missouri History Museum

The Chamber Project and the Missouri History Museum are teaming up for a night of music, history, and community on April 7th from 6:30-8:30.

Presented as part of the St. Louis Sound exhibit, The Chamber Project showcases chamber music connected to St. Louis!  Born and raised in St. Louis, Washington University graduate Olly Wilson played a pivotal role in establishing the use of electronics composing and performing music. American legend, William Grant Still has a fun connection to St. Louis, and you can hear reflections of musical culture of St. Louis in his work for woodwind quintet. Valerie Coleman celebrates St. Louis native Josephine Baker in her evocative, jazzy suite. 

Suite d'après Corrette for wind trio. Darius Milhaud
Echos for solo clarinet and electronics Olly Wilson 
Five Miniatures for Woodwind Quintet William Grant Still
Portraits of Josephine Valerie Coleman 

Make a night out of it with Thursday Nights at the Museum tours and activities as part of this free event.  

Public health protocols of the Missouri History Museum will be followed.
