St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Lift Every Voice

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Lift Every Voice at Powell Symphony Hall

When February arrives in St. Louis, Lift Every Voice gives you a reason to step out of the cold and into a room built for sound. On February 19, 2027, at 7:30 PM, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra brings a Black History Month celebration to Powell Symphony Hall. This is not a night to stream in the background. It is a night to be there, in person, while the music happens.

The names on this program matter. Kevin McBeth, Isaac Cates and the IN UNISON Chorus are set to headline the evening, and that mix of conductor, collaborator and chorus points to a concert centered on voices as much as instruments. Exact repertoire has not been announced, so part of the appeal is anticipation. You can't know every note in advance. You can know that the occasion has a clear purpose: a celebration, shared live, with a symphony orchestra and chorus in the same hall.

Think of who you'd invite. A parent, a friend, a longtime concertgoer, or someone who has never heard the SLSO live. A Friday night outing like this gives you something to plan around and something to talk about afterward, long after the final applause fades. Celebration feels bigger when you are sitting among other people who came for the same reason. If that sounds like your kind of evening, secure your seats for Lift Every Voice at Powell Symphony Hall and make February 19 a night you attend, not just hear about.
