The free family event in the morning featured a hike along the Nee Kee Nee Trail with EcoTones musicians, storytime, and outdoor crafts led by the SLPL Carpenter Branch’s children’s librarian. The whimsical, innovative live performance event invited audiences to interact with & listen to musicians along a half-mile “Music Trail” along Tower Grove Park’s Nee Kee Nee Stream (Osage for “revived water”), an enchanting and recently constructed trail surrounded by native prairie plantings alongside a recently day-lighted stream in Tower Grove Park’s eastern quadrant. The “Music Trail” with EcoTones musicians in small group configuration along the trail, was followed by a convergence of all the musicians together at Stupp Amphitheater for a full large ensemble concert set. The sit-down 75-minute concert set featured 14 world-class professional musicians of the EcoTones Ensemble performing live creative acoustic music inspired by Nee Kee Nee’s Urban Prairie and its resident flora & fauna.
