EcoTones Concerts @ Little Creek Nature Area

"We are thrilled to announce that EcoTones Concerts @ Little Creek Nature Area is coming up on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 10:00am! Co-sponsored by St. Louis Audubon’s Bring Conservation Home initiative, this full-scale EcoTones features 14 members of the world-class St. Louis EcoTones Ensemble in an all-ages ticketed musical event open to the public.  Little Creek Nature Area features a variety of flourishing ecosystems including a pond, forest, and a 40-year-old restored native prairie. 

From 10:00-11:00am, audience members walk a “Music Trail” through multiple ecotones in the preserve, hearing small ensembles perform music directly inspired by the flora and fauna surrounding each trailside stage, interspersed with naturalists from St. Louis Audubon’s Bring Conservation Home and the Missouri Prairie Foundation providing insights.  

The Music Trail portion of the event is immediately followed by a sit-down concert set at Little Creek Nature Area’s Pavilion at 11:30am featuring a convergence of all 14 members of the St. Louis EcoTones Ensemble.  New music inspired by the prairie ecosystem, its superpower roots, specific native plants, pollinators, and local birds will be performed, including new original compositions and arrangements by five of the ensemble members, including Bob Deboo, Danny Campbell, Thomas Jostlein, Alan Ferber, and Jody Redhage Ferber.  

A limited amount of picnic table bench seating will be available for the full-length concert set at 11:30 am, but audience members should plan to BYO-EVERYTHING: camp chairs, food, and drink. Audience members embarking on the Music Trail portion of the event should wear appropriate footwear.  In the event of rain, portions of the event will be moved under cover within Little Creek Nature Area.  Tickets are Pay-What-You-Want with a limited number of free tickets available on a first-come-first-served basis by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.
