A decade of music has passed, and while there's a ton to unpack here, here's what we have determined to be the best of the last ten.

Highlights from this week's Overture included: Primitive Lights, The Merry Travelers, a night of party punk, skipping finals, and one Bach cantata. Yep, a Bach canta -- just trust me, it's a worth it. 

Your weekly round-up of the musical happenings in C-U and the surrounding areas. I've purposefully included a lot of College and University ensembles: these end-of-year concerts are often the best performances by some of the best (classical, jazz, etc.) musicians around.

This holiday week may look a little sparse, but the bands that are playing more than make up for it. Highlights include New Twang City, The Dry Look, Tractor Kings, and Power of Dusk. 

Brigid Young reviews Peach Pit's night at Foellinger Auditorium. 

Julia Hartman interviews Elsinore's Ryan Groff on the life, music, and the release of their new album, A Life in the 21st Century.

Performing works by Aaron Jay Kernis, Béla Bartók, and Johannes Brahms, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra display their mastery at combining emotive force with formal ingenuity.  

This week offers a few great excuses to take a trip out to Bloomington, but just as many to visit local venues, too! Highlights include two underground-ish shows, LLYN, Black-Eyed Lilies, and two release shows. 

Joe Ingolia sits down with Sarah Cramer to discuss her craft and upcoming projects. 

John checks out Open Jam Wednesday at the Canopy Club: a laid back, monthly gathering of local musicians, hosted by local band, Grand Ambassador. 

This week's musical offerings may start off light, but it's going to be a hot weekend to warm you up from wind and snow. Highlights include Motes, Elsinore's album release show, and Bones Jugs and The Mighty Pines. 

Dylan Gray recounts his final interview with recently disbanded CU funk group, Flat Moon Theory.
