Churches as venues: another example

STLtoday - Entertainment - Music: "It's certainly one of the region's most colorful venues. St. Louis Cathedral Basilica, 4431 Lindell Boulevard, is the center of worship for the Roman Catholic archdiocese. It's also the home of one of the area's most dedicated presenters, Cathedral Concerts.

"The concerts were the brainchild of archdiocesan music director John Romeri, who arrived in 1992 and promptly started looking for ways to bring more music — and more people — into the building. The series has had its financial ups and downs, but Romeri and the Cathedral staff have maintained their commitment to presenting "great music in a great space."
