Bring your little Mozart or Verdi and join us for a music-filled summer. Tower Grove Park is pleased to announce that the 2021 Summer Children’s Concert Series will return on the first three Fridays of the month in June, July, and August. Each month will introduce a different genre of musical education. The concert series is free and open to the public. Registration is not required, but does provide a way to communicate event changes.
Concerts will run from 10-10:45 a.m. at the Stupp Center Amphitheater (3616 Southeast Dr., St. Louis MO 63116). Gates will open at 9:30 a.m.
August 13: The Wee Heavies
The Wee Heavies (Aaron Schiltz, Peter Merideth, Jay Harkey, and Steve Neale) started singing together in the Shaw Neighborhood of St. Louis in 2013. The mostly a cappella band has won a following with their mix of Scottish, Irish and American folk music that combines tradition with innovation and weaves together a unique take on the songs they sing. With their voices (and occasional instrumental accompaniment) the Heavies create a sound rich in harmony with unexpected twists and an energy that has their audiences clapping, stomping, and singing along. Between songs, the lads are just as entertaining through their humorous rapport and engaging storytelling.
