SUBSCRIPTIONS
Season subscriptions include access to all six of our Sunday afternoon presentations. As a season subscriber you will have the rare opportunity to see and hear ‘behind-the-scenes’ of the Chorus through discussions with Artistic Director Philip Barnes and other special guests from around the globe that will feature archival recordings of the choir and be complemented with a display of original images.
We have developed a COVID safety plan to help guide us during this season.
For subscribers who live in St. Louis or any of its surrounding counties.
For out-of-town subscribers who will not travel to see a live presentation.
*Should circumstances allow the choir to perform together in concert, we may substitute one or more of Philip’s presentations with a live performance (similarly streamed); at such a concert, seating preference will be given to our full subscribers.
**Limited subscriptions, for out-of-town subscribers, include our most recent CD, St. Louis Premieres, or another CD of their choice.
***Individual tickets must be purchased in advance. None will be available at the door.

We will hold each presentation on a Sunday from 3 pm to about 4:30 pm, in the large venue of Third Baptist Church in Grand Center. Full Season Subscribers have the exclusive right to attend those presentations live. Full Subscribers and Limited Subscribers (who live out-of-town) will have exclusive access to watch the presentations via live streaming from the comfort of their home or as a podcast for the 30 days after the event. Thereafter, we will make the podcasts generally available. This will allow us to share the story of the St. Louis Chamber Chorus with our community and beyond so that others can learn more about our history and the talents of our singers.
Your subscription offers a rare opportunity to see and hear ‘behind-the-scenes’. It also offers you the chance to show that you believe in what we believe in—that it is important for artists to continue to entertain, educate, and inspire audiences. Your support will help us weather these extraordinary times, re-emerge from our ‘pandemic chrysalis’ and soar once again ‘on the wings of song’.
