Program Description
St. Louis County Library Foundation’s Westfall Politics & History Series Presents U.S. Senator Chris Murphy
Author of “Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America”
Today, the United States is in a crisis—and it’s not just a political one: over fifty years, the pursuit of profit has undermined virtue and character, while too many of us have become convinced that happiness results from acting as good consumers, rather than as good citizens. The result: Americans have lost the sense of daily purpose and connection that are vital to happiness, becoming anxious, angry, and adrift. In “Crisis of the Common Good,” Senator Chris Murphy draws on history and political philosophy to offer a new politics of the common good that is both deeply rooted in our past and a radical challenge to the status quo.
Chris Murphy has represented Connecticut in the U.S. Senate since 2013. A previous member of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Connecticut state legislature, he is known for his work to combat gun violence, political corruption, and the scourge of loneliness in America.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m.

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy

Program Description
Spend an inspiring afternoon with internationally acclaimed soprano Patricia Racette as she leads a master class for singers at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL). Guests will enjoy performances by four of the most exciting early-career singers in the country, and a behind the scenes look at Pat’s expertise and mentorship as she coaches these young artists in real time.
This event is especially meaningful as Pat begins her first year as OTSL’s new Artistic Director—and as the first woman to hold this role—making it a wonderful opportunity to experience how an accomplished artist is shaping the next generation and redefining leadership in the arts.
The master class is open to the public, but St. Louis Forum member Nicole Ambos Freber has reserved a limited number of seats for Forum guests and will host a VIP meet and greet with Patricia Racette following the class. Join us for an afternoon of music, conversation, and connection.
