St. Louis Symphony Chorus

The St. Louis Symphony Chorus, under the direction of Amy Kaiser, is an indispensable part of the St. Louis Symphony. Founded in 1976 by then music director Jerzy Semkow and its first director, Thomas Peck, the chorus quickly became one of the finest orchestral choruses in the country.  Chorus members come from all walks of life and all parts of the St. Louis region. With 130 singers, the chorus performs on orchestral subscription concerts, holiday concerts and SLSO Presents. The chorus rehearses on Tuesday nights and auditions are held periodically throughout the season.

Next Audition Dates: January 25, 2011 
All voice sections are currently full. We will hear singers on January 25 to fill any vacancies that may arise for the Barber-Prayers of Kierkegaard/Mahler Symphony No. 2 and Orff-Carmina Burana programs. For more information and to receive an audition packet, contact Richard Ashburner, Chorus Manager at (314) 286-4130 or richarda@slso.org.
