  • St. Louis Arts Ecology Report
    Saint Louis Arts Ecology February 8, 2019 PRESENTATION AT THE REGIONAL ARTS COMMISSION ARTS &: NEXT STEPS CONVENING FEBRUARY 8, 2019 Summary The DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland was commissioned by Centene Corporation to study the arts ecology of St. Louis. The goal of the study was to provide guidance to Centene about the needs of the artists and arts organizations in St. Louis. The study examined two cohorts of arts organizations, those larger organizations that receive RAC funding and smaller organizations that receive project support. In-depth interviews and data surveys were performed with 60 organizations from both cohorts. Data for arts organizations in St. Louis were also compared to data from arts organizations in six comparator cities. The interviews focused on key strategic aspects of arts management: artistic planning, marketing (both to increase ticket sales and to engage new donors), fund-raising, board engagement and staffing. 2 Major Conclusions Major conclusions of the study included: - St. Louis has a remarkably large, diverse and productive arts sector that includes a large number of organizations - The largest arts organizations are larger than their counterparts in similar size cities - St. Louis is missing a cadre of mid-sized organizations; most organizations are very large or of modest size - There is a great reliance on fundraising by the larger arts institutions 3 Major Conclusions (cont) - A small group of very generous funders is providing a large portion of philanthropy in St.

Premieres Friday, March 12, 2021 - 7PM (CT) St. Louis, MO – KEEP LIVE ALIVE SAINT LOUIS is a 90-minute entertainment special produced by the St. Louis Classic Rock PreservaSon Society to raise money for people unemployed or laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic who work in the live entertainment industry in the St. Louis region. St. Louis Classic Rock PreservaHon Society is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organizaHon dedicated "to preserve, promote, and honor St. Louis' uniQue classic rock heritage and its place in music and pop culture history." When the pandemic hit, the live entertainment business was the first to close down and will be one of the last to reopen. Key venues in the St. Louis region went dark overnight, including The Fabulous Fox Theatre, The MUNY, The Pageant, Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, Enterprise Center, The Sheldon Concert Hall — the list goes on and on, all the way to the countless small local clubs and theaters. With no income being generated from live events, most venues had no choice but to layoff the majority of their staffs. Overnight many dedicated professionals lost their livelihood. Media partner of the project is Hubbard BroadcasHng (KSHE-95, 106.5 The Arch, 92.3 WIL, and 105.7 The Point). Not only have Hubbard’s four music staHons commiced promoHonal support, but their key on-air personaliHes will co-host the video special.

  • Jazz Jazz Is a Uniquely American Music Genre That Began in New Orleans Around 1900, and Is Characterized by Improvisation, Stron
    Jazz Jazz is a uniquely American music genre that began in New Orleans around 1900, and is characterized by improvisation, strong rhythms including syncopation and other rhythmic invention, and enriched chords and tonal colors. Early jazz was followed by Dixieland, swing, bebop, fusion, and free jazz. Piano, brass instruments especially trumpets and trombones, and woodwinds, especially saxophones and clarinets, are often featured soloists. Jazz in Missouri Both St. Louis and Kansas City have played important roles in the history of jazz in America. Musicians came north to St. Louis from New Orleans where jazz began, and soon the city was a hotbed of jazz. Musicians who played on the Mississippi riverboats were not really playing jazz, as the music on the boats was written out and not improvised, but when the boats docked the musicians went to the city’s many clubs and played well into the night. Some of the artists to come out of St. Louis include trumpeters Clark Terry, Miles Davis and Lester Bowie, saxophonist Oliver Nelson, and, more recently, pianist Peter Martin. Because of the many jazz trumpeters to develop in St. Louis, it has been called by some “City of Gabriels,” which is also the title of a book on jazz in St. Louis by jazz historian and former radio DJ, Dennis Owsley. Jazz in Kansas City, like jazz in St. Louis, grew out of ragtime, blues and band music, and its jazz clubs thrived even during the Depression because of the Pendergast political machine that made it a 24-hour town. Because of its location, Kansas City was connected to the “territory bands” that played the upper Midwest and the Southwest, and Kansas City bands adopted a feel of four even beats and tended to have long solos.
