Experience music of hope, reflection, and power in this community-centered benefit concert for those affected by the May 16 tornado in St. Louis. The SLSO is joined on stage at the Fabulous Fox by members of its two resident choruses—the IN UNISON Chorus and the St. Louis Symphony Chorus. Many singers in the IN UNISON Chorus attend churches in the SLSO’s IN UNISON program, which has connected the orchestra to congregations  in north St. Louis for more than 30 years. Nine of the SLSO’s partner churches sustained damage from the tornado. 

This collective effort, hosted by the SLSO and the Fabulous Fox, supports the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis’ ongoing relief, recovery, and rebuilding efforts. Together, we celebrate enduring community bonds and a shared commitment to help our neighbors recover, rebuild, and heal. 

All funds raised will benefit the Urban League and support the most immediate needs of people displaced or impacted in north St. Louis, including: 

• Large-scale food distribution
• Temporary hotel housing
• Necessities such as toiletries and personal care items
• Emergency building supplies

Funds will also support partner churches affected by the tornado in the SLSO’s IN UNISON program, which has connected congregations primarily in north St. Louis to the orchestra for more than 30 years.

This is a pay-as-you-wish, general admission event. All funds raised, including direct donations, will support the Urban League’s Disaster Relief Fund. Free parking is provided by the Fabulous Fox. 

Can’t make it? You can still support the relief efforts by donating directly to the Urban League’s Disaster Relief Fund here.
