The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation present contemporary chamber music performed in response to the art on view. The 2018-2019 season will be curated by Tim Munro, Creative Partner at the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and Grammy Award-winning flutist. 

Taxidermy showcases the SLSO’s percussion section, with composer Caroline Shaw making flower pots sing, Juri Seo creating quirky tunes from tubes, Danny Clay demonstrating musical games for percussion instruments, and Mayke Nas performing piano surgery. Injuries treated, the piano takes center stage for Missy Mazzoli’s dreamy evocation of another time, another place, complete with video by Zlatko Cosic.
