Week of Music

Come Sing • Come Play • Come Listen

St. Louis gathers for a week of song, Shabbat, and community. Everyone belongs in the circle.

Join our list to get the lineup, schedule, and ticket releases first.

Week of Music returns February 2027.

Save the date. The full lineup and schedule arrive this fall — and our first live album drops in September. Sign up and you'll be first to know.

“You don't have to be Jewish or a CRC person to love this — just a human being with a loving heart and an open mind.”

How to join in

However you show up, there's a place for you. Come sing, come play, come listen.

Sing

Raise your voice in services, circles, and sing-alongs. No experience needed — everyone belongs in the circle.

Play

Drum, strum, and jam with our musicians and visiting artists. Instruments provided — or bring your own.

Listen

Concerts, learning, and the sound of a community that loves to make music. Hear touring artists and hometown favorites in the same room.

The Ensemble

The Players

At CRC, the music isn't one performer with a backing band — it's a cast of musicians making the sound together, and a whole community singing in the circle.

Family Programming

Made for every age.

Week of Music is built for families — pajama Havdalahs with your lovey, family sing-alongs, kids learning the songs of the service, and young musicians invited to play right alongside the band.

Bring the kids. Bring the grandparents. Everyone belongs in the circle.

Planned for 2027

Local Rootedness

A new St. Louis tradition in the making.

Week of Music lands during one of the richest stretches of Jewish music in St. Louis, when national song leaders and artists come through town. We open the doors wide and invite the whole city in.

Our festival connects local food purveyors and neighborhood venues, building a shared local experience that highlights the best of St. Louis.
