Powell HallThe second oldest symphony orchestra in the United States, (the New York Philharmonic is the oldest), the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s story is woven into America’s artistic and cultural fabric. For more than 140 years, the SLSO has played the musical soundtrack for milestones in the St. Louis region’s history and evolution. It has been a constant source of joy, inspiration, celebration, reflection, comfort, and healing for its audiences. Like the community it serves, the SLSO is continually evolving, finding new ways to connect, engage, create, teach, learn, entertain, and shape the orchestral art form in new ways, so that all are welcome to experience the uniquely transformative power of music.
