Reader Steve Bugala wrote in to point out that the Saint Louis Symphony has placed some live performances on the website of the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts. In that gleaming space, chamber and ensemble groups from the orchestra have been presenting some superbly curated evenings of twentieth-century and contemporary music; when I visited St. Louis in 2005, I caught a program of Webern, Stockhausen, Feldman, and David Lang. The Riverfront Times describes how the initiative came about and where it's headed. To hear the music, go here for Steve Reich and George Crumb and here for Cage's Credo in US.
