With a message of “Hear the Future,” St. Louis Public Radio’s Annual Celebration at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis presented an evening of engaging conversation, lively entertainment and a renewed commitment to support accurate, responsible community journalism.
The event featured a cocktail hour, followed by opening remarks by St. Louis Public Radio CEO Tina Pamintuan and University of Missouri-St. Louis chancellor Kristin Sobolik. The evening’s special guest, Juana Summers, co-host of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” participated in an on-stage conversation with emcee Elaine Cha, host of “St. Louis on the Air.” Music from St. Louis’ own Red & Black Brass Band provided the entertainment for the after-party.
Gazelle proudly served as the event’s media sponsor.
