The 442s

Combining two members of the world-class St. Louis Symphony and two of the city’s finest jazz musicians, The 442s combine outstanding musicianship, group singing and inventive improvisation, all while breaking down barriers between jazz, classical, folk and pop music. The group will perform four new works written for them, by Stefan Freund, Chris Stark, Peter Martin and the 442s’ own, Adam Maness, a culmination of a commission funded by Dr. Richard and Mary Ann Shaw, and Dr. Richard Waters.
