“We are so pleased to be able to offer these concert events as a gift to the St. Louis community,” said Dr. James Marriott, Kreft Chair for Music Arts. “Music gives us an opportunity to celebrate and proclaim our faith in profound and enriching ways, and these concerts are designed toward that very end.”
