Music is in the Air
Founded in 1880, the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra (SLSO) is recognized internationally as an ensemble of the highest caliber, performing a broad musical repertoire with skill and spirit. The Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra was founded on the belief that great music should be available to everyone.
The Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra will present – in what has become a St. Louis family tradition - a variety of holiday inspired concerts in December. The holiday season starts first with the 12th annual Gospel Christmas at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, December 14.
After a one year absence, the traditional Holiday Concerts return this season. Concerts are scheduled for December 15, 16, 17, and will be conducted by SLSO Assistant Conductor Scott Parkman. Joining Parkman and the Orchestra will be the St. Louis Children’s Choir. Program highlights include Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker and Prokofiev’s Troika from Lt. Kije Suite.
The holiday season shines a little brighter when David Robertson leads the Orchestra in two special performances of Chaplin’s Idle Class and The Kid at 7:30 p.m., December 29 and December 30. The Orchestra plays the Chaplin scores live, while the films are projected on a large screen. This is truly a family event, which promises to put a smile on your face. Last year’s Chaplin concerts were sold out, so make plans to get your tickets early.
