CHARIS – The St. Louis Women’s Chorus prides itself on the diversity of its membership and repertoire. Led by Stuart Chapman Hill, the choir specializes in choral music for and about women and the LGBTQ+ community.
The group’s upcoming concerts Friday and Saturday, “Cruisin' the Mighty Mississippi,” will take listeners “on a journey along the waters of America’s iconic river, with songs that celebrate the thrill of travel, the renewal of being on the water, and the landmark musical cities on the river’s winding path.”
On Friday’s St. Louis on the Air, St. Louis Public Radio reporter Jonathan Ahl sat down with artistic director Hill and members Wendy Bell and Emma Young to discuss their spring season, community involvement and collaborations with other choruses and community arts and social services organizations.
