LIVE MUSIC P SAINT LOUIS P BLUEBERRY HILL Music history happens here! In 1985 we opened up the Elvis Room to bring live music into Blueberry Hill. It was the next step for us and for helping to make The Loop the live music center of St. Louis. The Father of Rock & Roll and first person inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Chuck Berry, inaugurated the Duck Room and played over 200 consecutive monthly concerts in the intimate 340-capacity room. Many bands play on the same historic stage Chuck Berry did for so many years. We host fantastic acts in the Duck Room and Ed Sheeran, the Lumineers, and Grandmaster Flash have brought the house down. Music history really does happen here.

Since its opening in November 1925, the St. Louis Theatre had presented the best in live vaudeville as well as motion pictures. Appropriately enough, The Sound of Music was the last movie shown in the old theater. Following an extensive $2 million renovation, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra was blessed with its first permanent home and one of the world’s finest concert halls. The 2,689-seat Powell Hall is named for Walter S. Powell, a St. Louis shoe manufacturing executive whose widow, Helen Lamb Powell, made the Symphony Society beneficiary of a $1 million charitable trust. These funds helped to match a $2 million Ford Foundation grant for the endowment of the new concert hall.
