In this vagabond season when Powell Hall is being renovated, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra is still playing shows in one of its usual homes – the Pulitzer Arts Foundation,
Plus: the BIPOC-led 'ConFluence: A Cultured Multiverse'; Liz Phair and Patti LuPone come to town; and Roomful of Teeth at the Icehouse; and Pete Driessen’s river-themed installation in Rochester.
Live at the Pulitzer: Line and Light St. Louis Symphony Orchestra string players summon intense color and bold abstraction. Quartets take us on kaleidoscopic journeys through Sky Macklay’s angular reimagination of the familiar cadence and Molly Joyce’s reflection on perfection. Michael Gordon and Leilehua Lanzilotti revel in the emotive beauty of solo instruments. A lone marimba breaks up the string party in Andy Akiho’s virtuosic and percussive banger. This program was principally inspired by the "Sarah Crowner: Around Orange" exhibition at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation. More info at pulitzerarts.org.
