Voice & the Violin: Joshua Bell & Larisa Martinez

Segerstrom Center for the Arts

Soprano Larisa Martinez and violinist Joshua Bell present a new concert program, Voice and the Violin, an evening of beloved romantic arias and modern classics.

In a statement, Martinez and Bell said, “Our concept for the ‘Voice and the Violin’ program began during the pandemic, while we were quarantined and finding new ways to collaborate and enjoy music together. Although finding repertoire written specifically for violin and voice can be a challenge, we discovered and fell in love with these gems featured in tonight’s performance."

Join the Confluence Chamber Orchestra for a mesmerizing journey back in time with "Meet Me in St. Louis," a special concert series celebrating the opening of the Missouri History Museum's new World’s Fair exhibit. This unique musical experience is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28, 2024, at 2:30 pm, at the Missouri History Museum, located at 5700 Lindell Blvd., Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri.

Dive into the rich history of the 1904 World's Fair as our orchestra members, having delved into the museum’s archives, bring to life the works performed by famous musicians of that era. This concert will not only feature a captivating selection of music but also offer attendees a walking tour of the fair’s most exciting music venues, all set against a stunning backdrop of iconic photographs from 1904.

The program includes a variety of pieces that echo the spirit of the World's Fair, including "The Star Spangled Banner" by Vanderstucken, "The Louisiana March" by Wagner, "Grand March from Tannhauser" by Sousa, "The Liberty Bell March," "The Streets of Cairo aka the Hoochee Coochee Dance" by Johnson, "Saint Louis Fire Company Anniversary Parade March" by Mills and Sterling, "Meet Me in St. Louis" by Joplin, "The Cascades" by Foster, "The Social Orchestra" by Bizet, "Intermezzo from Carmen," "Zampa Overture" by Herold, "Havanaise" by Saint-Saens, and the "William Tell Overture" by Rossini.

For those who cannot make it to the opening celebration, a repeat performance of the music program will be held on Sunday, May 5, at 3:00 pm at Salem United Methodist Church, 1200 S. Lindbergh Blvd., Ladue, Mo.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the music that captivated audiences at the 1904 World's Fair, brought to life by the talented members of the Confluence Chamber Orchestra.
