As always, we love to support the Crescendo Concert Series, which brings outstanding artists to St. Charles, Missouri.

The next in the 2010 series is Marlissa Hudson, the American soprano with “incredible vocal endurance”. She trained at Duke University and the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, winning acclaim and awards at both. She has performed with the Baltimore Symphony Pops Orchestra and at the Union Avenue Opera in St. Louis.

Ms. Hudson was raised in Saint Louis, and now makes her home there. We are thrilled to have her nearby, and hope she makes many trips to St. Charles.

Ms. Hudson’s March 7, 2010, performance at the St. John United Church of Christ will begin at 3 pm. Dr. Nancy Rubenstein, musicologist, will speak at 2:30 pm about Ms. Hudson and the music she will perform.

The Crescendo Concert Series

The next concert in the Crescendo Concert Series will be Sunday, January 24, 2010, at 3pm. You won’t want to miss Trio Voronezh, a Russian Folk Instrumental Trio.

To quote the Los Angeles Times from the Trio Voronezh website, the concert promises “three players, alone on a large open stage, filling every crevice with their rich, imaginatively conceived music.”

The trio was educated at the Academy of Music in Voronezh, south of Moscow. They honed their skills for years playing small concert halls throughout the Netherlands, Germany, and France. By the time they made it to the United States at the end of the last century, they were highly skilled and received wide acclaim.

Attending this concert series is the perfect way to finish a weekend at our St Charles bed and breakfast. Then again, it is the perfect way to start a week at our St. Charles inn. A getaway to St. Charles will combat the mid-winter blues. Warm and cozy at the inn, with good food and drink and luxurious accommodations, you can’t help but feel content. The uplifting music of the Trio Voronezh will enhance that feeling.
