The extreme heat has caused us to cancel the July 17th “Sunday Serenades” concert at Francis Park and to move indoors the July 18th “Musical Mondays” concert in Tower Grove Park. It may be disappointing to many of you, but we made these decisions out of concern for the well-being of our audience members, staff, and musicians.

After talking with several local window vendors and some online research, we’ve come to the realization that increased energy efficiency will be minimal with the addition...
