In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with Marie-Hélène Bernard, president and CEO of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, on the eve of its return to Powell Hall after a $140 million renovation. A native of Quebec who moved here from Boston, Marie-Hélène explains how the SLSO pulled off the project on time and on budget—and what made her fall in love in St. Louis. Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about the troubling eviction of two young brothers in South City, made possible by a new law that makes critical changes to Misosuri evictions.
