Eric Genuis in Concert: Benefitting North City
About This Event
Composer-pianist Eric Genuis brings his Concerts for Hope series to North St. Louis for three Juneteenth weekend performances directly benefiting neighborhoods within the historic Greater Ville and surrounding North City corridor. Genuis, known for performing in prisons, rehabilitation centers, and underserved communities worldwide, leads a classical chamber ensemble featuring violin, cello, and soprano through original compositions that move from lament to triumph. The Friday evening and Saturday matinee and evening shows at Power Creative create a ticketed cultural offering in a part of St. Louis long underserved by mainstream concert venues, with proceeds reinvested in North City programming. The performance honors Juneteenth's themes of liberation and renewal through accessible classical music in a community whose cultural infrastructure has been steadily rebuilt by Black-led organizations.

Juneteenth concerts span gospel, jazz, R&B, soul, hip-hop, and Afrobeats — sometimes all in one lineup. Outdoor stages are common, so bring layers and a low chair if seating isn’t provided. Doors typically open 30 to 60 minutes before the first set. Food and drink vendors are usually on-site; cash is still safer than card at smaller events. Many performers wait until the final hour for headline acts, so pace yourself.
