Clearly Human - Journey of the Body and Soul

Saturday, April 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM
in the St. Louis Artists’ Guild Gallery

Join us at the St. Louis Artists’ Guild for a unique happy hour where music and art collide during Clearly Human: Journey of the Body and Soul. Arrive early to enjoy wine and appetizers while you explore the Clearly Human VI exhibition, before select singers from The Bach Society Chorus bring the gallery to life with a performance inspired by the artwork.

The concert takes you on a journey through love, joy, longing and wonder, featuring a diverse mix of opera, musical theatre and choral works. To make the afternoon truly one-of-a-kind, St. Louis artist Mel Tychonievich will be painting from a live model throughout the performance. The finished masterpiece will be raffled, with all proceeds supporting the missions of The Bach Society of Saint Louis and the St. Louis Artists’ Guild.

Tickets: $40
