Saint Louis Symphony Education Program

The Symphony's best-known educational programs are its three series of educational concerts in Powell Symphony Hall, which serve approximately 40,000 students from 1000 schools annually. They come from public, private, parochial and home schools representing all economic backgrounds. Kinder Konzerts (grades K-3), Young People's Concerts (grades 4-6), and Young Adult Concerts (grades 7 and above) are tailored for separate age groups ranging from kindergarten through high school.

Kinder Konzerts, Young People's Concerts, and Young Adult Concerts include commentary from the stage highlighting various aspects of music, including melody, rhythm, and the different instruments within the orchestra. These popular concerts have entertained St. Louis-area residents for generations: Maestro Rudolph Ganz led the first Young Peoples Concerts in 1921; the Kinder Konzerts began in 1966 under the auspices of the Symphony Women's Association.

E. Desmond Lee Fine Arts Education Collaborative
In addition to educating and entertaining youngsters at Powell Symphony Hall, the musicians make over 150 visits to local schools each season. Half of these visits occur through the E. Desmond Lee Fine Arts Education Collaborative, a partnership with the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL), local arts organizations, and over 120 schools in 14 districts.

Any school may request a visit from SLSO musicians. They do not need to be part of the E. Desmond Lee Collaborative. For more information, please contact the Education Programs Manager in the Community Partnerships Department at 314-286-4434.
