See St. Joseph: Springing into weekend entertainment
While the seasons may be changing, St. Joseph's weekend entertainment and activities are year-round. News-Press NOW's Kendra Simpson found some perfect ways to celebrate spring in this week's edition of See St. Joseph.

The Saint Joseph Symphony is joining forces with the Benedictine College Chamber Singers and the Saint Joseph Community Chorus to bring residents an evening of music, legend and mystery. The groups will be performing Mozart’s iconic “Requiem,” highlighting what many feel is the composer’s most important work. Mozart began his work on “Requiem” on his deathbed before his student, Franz Xaver Sussmayr, completed the piece. The work is known for its haunting melodies, dramatic intensity and emotional depth. The performance will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 22, at the Missouri Theater, 717 Edmond St. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at saintjosephsymphony.org.
