Memorial Day weekend is one of those times that St. Louisans can expand their ethnic heritage. Check out the St. Louis County Greek Festival at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 1755 Des Peres Road in Town and Country. Of course it has music that you can listen to for free, as does the St. Louis African Festival at the World’s Fair Pavilion in Forest Park. Ditto the Mississippi River Irish Festival in Frontier Park, St. Charles.
For an event that is more in keeping with Memorial Day traditions of remembering those who have died, members of the St. Louis Symphony will perform two quintets by Mozart at 3 p.m. May 24 at the mausoleum of the New Mount Sinai Cemetery, 8430 Gravois Road.
Have concerts to add? We're are looking for music series that are free and outdoors. Send the information to dkorando@stlpublicradio.org
