2:00pm ALL AGES FULL ECOTONES ENSEMBLE TICKETED EVENT
This whimsical, innovative live performance event invites 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, will be 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 will feature 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.
