“After a year and a half of pandemic-prompted cancellations, virtual events and wondering when we might be able to hear live music again, the answer is: It’s happening,” writes Daniel Durchholz in Friday’s (9/10) St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MO). “Many organizations and venues have instituted requirements concerning vaccinations, testing, masking and social distancing…. St. Louis Symphony Orchestra returns to Forest Park for its annual (COVID-year excepted) free concert … Sept. 22 [led by] music director Stéphane Denève…. The season begins officially Sept. 25, when Denève leads the orchestra in a program that includes Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony as well as Anna Clyne’s ‘DANCE,’ featuring cellist Inbal Segev and choreographer Kirven Douthit-Boyd…. Before the orchestra’s regular season … singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Kishi Bashi debuts Sept. 17 with the SLSO; and the SLSO and guest vocalists will perform ‘Dancing in the Street: The Music of Motown’ on Sept. 18.” Also included are returns to in-person performance by Bach Society of St. Louis, Cathedral Concerts at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, Chamber Music Society of St. Louis, Chamber Project St. Louis, New Music Circle, Opera Edwardsville, St. Louis Chamber Chorus, St. Louis Classical Guitar, St. Louis Philharmonic Orchestra, and Winter Opera St. Louis.
