Sunday, September 3, Trebor Tichenor and the St. Louis Ragtimers will be the featured entertainers for the second week of the neighborhood Performing Arts Festival, which is sponsored by the Hamilton Community School. This well-known group has performed authentic ragtime and traditional jazz in the St. Louis area since 1961, including a four-year booking at Gas Light Square. They now play Saturday nights on the Goldenrod Showboat.
Legend Singers will star on September 17. The
Legend Singers were founded 37 years ago by their director, Dr. Kenneth Billups. This choir of three dozen beautiful voices has appeared 23 times with the St. Louis Symphony and eight times at the Muny Opera. They have recorded for CBS Radio and can currently be seen many Sundays on Dr. Billups’ weekly television program “God’s Musical World.”
Each show will begin at 6:30 pm at the Four Corners, Kingsbury at Des Peres, and will be preceeded by a Teen Dance and films (3:30-4:30) sponsored by the St. Louis Public Library. All performances are FREE. You are invited to bring the whole family, together with your lawnchairs and cushions. The Hamilton Community School will have an information center and will register anyone interested in attending the Fall Term classes.
