Our Team | Ariel Concert Series | St. Louis, Missouri

The inspiration for Ariel Concert Series began during the summer of 2020. After living through weeks of isolation during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic, a need arose for the musicians of St. Louis to once again connect with their community. With the support of Tai Lin, President and CEO of Ariel Premium Supply, Inc., Ariel Concert Series was founded. ACS presented its first concert on July 22, 2020.

This non-profit concert series started with the desire to provide free concerts to the people of St. Louis and beyond and to help musicians and listeners find a moment of peace during troubling times. After an opening season of outdoor and virtual performances in 2020 and 2021, Ariel Concert Series has now completed its fourth season with a concert hosted every month in
various St. Louis churches and concert halls. We at ACS believe that music should be available to everyone, and we strive to always share high quality classical music performances with you.

Ariel Premium Supply, Inc. is a supplier company in the promotional products industry. Established in 1993, Ariel Premium Supply has been a family run business for over 30 years. In April of 2023, APS won the Supplier Star from the PPAI’s (Promotional Products Association International) Golden Pyramid Awards.

More Info

Founder and Chairman of Ariel Premium Supply and Ariel Concert Series, Tai Lin, shares his perspective on the origin of the concert series and how he sees its future. “When I started Ariel Concert Series in July 2020, I didn’t think much of the future plan yet. During the past 12 months, I learned from our talented musicians and from the St. Louis communities that Ariel Concert Series could help build a platform for St. Louis classical music development. I think the possibilities are enormous. First of all, I firmly believe that quality classical music in everyone’s life is so crucial to a healthy spirit, just like quality food to a healthy body. This is the most important “demands” in marketing and economic terms, as you may call it. Our musicians are the ones who “supply” the contents/materials to meet the “demands”. So, the basic question is : how can we connect the “demands” and “supplies” in a way that will benefit the overall life quality of St. Louis communities (which may extend to other communities in the world) and also provide good career opportunities for the professionally trained musicians.”.
