The Saint Louis Symphony

One event I would absolutely love to attend is a night with the Saint Louis Symphony. I love music and even more being in an atmosphere such as this. I can close my eyes and lose myself to the sounds of the orchestra:

• The Orchestra's broad-based efforts have grown to include:
  Programs, festivals and showcases each year at more than 100 schools in 12 area school districts. Kinder Konzerts, Young Peoples Concerts, and Young Adult's Concerts for more than 40,000 students annually.
  The St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra, which includes talented young musicians from more than three dozen area schools.
  Performances in more than thirty African-American churches through the Saint Louis Symphony IN UNISON® Program
  Free performances at community organizations, schools, churches, parks and other locations throughout the year.
  Free concerts at area parks in the summer.
  

Over 250 free events are held each year. Every event with an Orchestra musician or staff member and a member of our community is an opportunity to educate - from explaining the difference between the violin and the viola, to changing the misperceptions about who is welcome and how an audience member must be dressed to attend a Symphony concert.These exchanges are important efforts in overcoming a newcomer's perceived barriers to enjoying the music. Equally important, the public educates the Symphony, as we continue to learn how we can more effectively bring music to the people of St. Louis.
