June 2025

 On Monday, June 2, the Chamber Music Society of St. Louis presented our 10th “Encore Classics” Donor Appreciation Concert. This cherished tradition has been revived in celebration of those whose generous support makes our work possible. This special evening was graciously hosted by First Bank in their stunning new headquarters in Creve Coeur, offering an elegant and welcoming setting to thank those whose leadership-level giving has had a particularly significant impact this season. Guests were welcomed into the beautifully designed main lobby, where they enjoyed an hour-long concert of audience favorites performed by our musicians who volunteered their talents for the occasion as a gesture of gratitude. The intimate performance captured the spirit of chamber music at its finest, shared among friends and supporters who help sustain our mission. Following the concert, guests gathered for a festive reception, complete with hor d’heures, delicious Dierberg California wines, and lively conversation. We extend our deepest appreciation to First Bank and its leadership—Mike Dierberg, Mikel Williamson, Stacy Clay, and Kathy Knopp—for their generous hospitality and continued partnership. The evening was a heartfelt celebration of community and the generous spirit that keeps The Chamber thriving. We are profoundly grateful to all our supporters who make it possible to bring the joy of chamber music to St. Louis.
