SUMMARY:Artists First: Connection\, Cohesion & Changeability
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Luke Allison\, Ricky Douglas\, David Fishman\, Julie Hart\, Nakia Jones\, Kevin Ngo\, Danny Speck and Dakota Thomas \nThe exhibition will feature 20 Artists First artists\, highlighting their passion and dedication to their art. Some of the artists have been involved with Artists First for over 10 years and consider the studio their haven. Each featured artist has a unique story to tell. \nArtists First is a non-profit open art studio that fosters independence through creative self-expression for adults with pervasive mental illness\, developmental disabilities\, and traumatic brain injury. The studio serves over 300 artists annually through a range of artistic programs that provide a creative platform for groups often confined to the fringes of society. With varying levels of supervision depending on the individual needs of the artists\, Artists First staff and volunteers promote participants’ self-esteem through their independent use of materials\, exploration of the world of creating art and socialization with their peers. \nOne featured artist has both Down syndrome and autism. She has difficulty seeing\, which directly correlates to the intricate mark making shown in her work. She then uses a palette knife instead of a brush to spread the paint out both vertically and horizontally. Once she has filled the canvas and the paint has dried\, she goes in with a color pencil\, meticulously holding each color pencil up to her face and examining it before deciding where to place it on the canvas. The colored pencil marks almost serve as stitches between the different colors of paint. The artist has grown tremendously since beginning at Artists First\, both artistically and developmentally. \n\n\n\n\nPLAN YOUR VISIT \nSeating Chart\nParking\nDirections\n\n\nSHARE THIS EVENT \n Email Event  Copy Link \n\n\n\nSPONSORSHIP \n\nSponsored by Christy Beckmann\, Nina Needleman and Peggy W.

SUMMARY:The Sheldon's All-Star Chorus: Carnegie Hall Preview Concert
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed conductor Maria A. Ellis leads The Sheldon’s All-Star Chorus in a preview presentation of their Carnegie Hall repertoire with a very special performance of Robert Ray‘s Gospel Mass. Composed by the late\, renowned St. Louis composer\, the Gospel Mass takes the classical form of a choral mass and applies characteristics of American gospel music to the expressive and passionate text. The concert will open with solo performances by students who have been taking private voice lessons this semester. \nFREE\, but donations gratefully accepted. Proceeds will benefit the Chorus travel fund\, which will send the All-Stars to New York City this June to sing at Carnegie Hall! \nDonate now! Text “NYC” to 314.582.8848 or click here to donate \nEllis was invited by the prestigious New York City venue to curate and conduct a program featuring almost 100 singers – of which\, the All-Star Chorus will comprise 22. “When I was asked to conduct at Carnegie Hall\, it dawned on me that if I were to perform the Gospel Mass\, I could feature several components that are important to me\,” says Ellis. “A Black composer who is from St. Louis and was a professor at University of Missouri-St. Louis (which is where I received my music degree)\, Black soloists who are from St. Louis\, and I could take the singers from my All-Star Chorus. On one of the biggest stages in the world\, I could feature an authentic American genre of music as well as celebrate Black culture and St. Louis.” \nAn inclusive opportunity for high school singers to learn music literacy\, gain performance experience\, and build a community of students who have a strong passion for music\, the All-Star Chorus is unique in that it aspires to lessen the barriers required for chorus participation. The Sheldon’s All-Star Chorus program is free for all students who are in 9th through 12th grades. The Sheldon provides transportation to and from rehearsal for those students who do not have access to regular transportation. The All-Stars share a meal before every rehearsal. This practice brings the choir members together to socialize and create strong bonds of friendship. These intentional relationships help foster social-emotional learning\, self-awareness\, social skills and inclusion within the community that the chorus creates. \nAll-Star Chorus students represent school districts from across our region\, from St. Louis Public Schools to Mehlville; Granite City\, Illinois; New Haven High School; Kirkwood; Hazelwood; Grand Center Arts Academy; and Riverview Gardens. \nMaria A. Ellis is a passionate educator and conductor who is an active clinician\, adjudicator and presenter throughout the United States and abroad. She holds a B.M. in Music Education emphasis on Voice (K-12 Certified) Degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and is the host of the award winning-program Bach and Beyoncé on Classic 107.3. She serves as a host for the St. Louis Symphony “Live at Powell” broadcast\, and is an active member of the American Choral Directors Association\, National Association of Music Educators\, Missouri Alliance for Arts Education\, where she is chair of the RIDE (Race\, Inclusion\, Diversity & Equity) Committee.

SUMMARY:Sierra Ferrell: Long Time Going Tour
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. \nwith guest Jaime Wyatt \nWith her spellbinding voice and time-bending sensibilities\, Sierra Ferrell makes music that’s as fantastically vagabond as the artist herself. Growing up in small-town West Virginia\, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist left home in her early 20s to journey across the country with a troupe of nomadic musicians\, playing everywhere from truck stops to alleyways to freight-train boxcars speeding down the railroad tracks. After years of living in her van and busking on the streets of New Orleans and Seattle\, she moved to Nashville and soon landed a deal with Rounder Records on the strength of her magnetic live show. Now\, on her highly anticipated label debut Long Time Coming\, Ferrell shares a dozen songs beautifully unbound by genre or era\, instantly transporting her audience to an infinitely more enchanted world.
