IN UNISON Chorus

Leaders of the IN UNISON Chorus signed a contract with Fenton-based MorningStar Music Publishers to publish and distribute original music and arrangements around the world.

For 30 years, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s IN UNISON Chorus has taken the music of the Black church to the symphony hall. On Friday, it celebrates its anniversary at the Stifel Theatre with gospel singer BeBe Winans. The chorus has covered a large part of the Black experience through gospel and spiritual music.

The grant funds a commission by composer Nathalie Joachim for a May concert. Orchestra leaders say it’s a new way to showcase its IN UNISON chorus, which showcases African American composers.

The money will help fund the In Unison Chorus, which focuses on works by African American composers, and various music education programs for Black students in St. Louis.
