John Legend: A Night of Songs and Stories With the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra
8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7 • The Muny
The Muny, in collaboration with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, revives a beloved tradition in 2024 by presenting its first live concert in more than 30 years — a one-night-only show starring Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner John Legend.
The Muny presents John Legend: A Night of Songs and Stories With the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. Sept. 7. The concert on the iconic James S. McDonnell Stage will be Legend’s first performance with the world-class SLSO.
The once-in-a-lifetime performance will feature intimate reimaginings of Legend’s greatest hits (“All of Me,” “Ordinary People,” “Tonight”), unexpected stories from his life and career, and selections from his most recent release, LEGEND (“Nervous,” “Wonder Woman”).
