From timeless masterpieces to exciting new collaborations, our 144th season features everything you love about your SLSO.
In Beethoven’s world, you never know what is around each corner: terror or tenderness, joy or sorrow. American pianist Jonathan Biss plays the grand First Piano Concerto, opening a season-long Beethoven concerto cycle. In Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, a Roman general swings between caring and warmongering. Unsuk Chin’s subito con forza memorializes Beethoven with shock and surprise.
These performances take place at Touhill Performing Arts Center at the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
“Monstrously talented” violinist Benjamin Beilman debuts with Mozart’s playful Fifth Violin Concerto. Cristian Macelaru, a favorite of musicians and audiences, warms us with the autumnal glow and golden hue of Brahms’ richly pastoral Second Symphony.
These performances take place at Touhill Performing Arts Center at the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
There's "no greater joy than giving" to David and Thelma Steward. Now through August 31, they will match all new and increased gifts to the SLSO up to $150,000.
We’re renovating and expanding the 98-year-old building to preserve and enhance our civic treasure for generations to come. This project is inspired by you: our goal is to provide greater access to music and an even more welcoming and comfortable experience for all.
Prepare for a season of transformative music as your SLSO takes the stage at two incredible venues in the 23/24 season: Touhill Performing Arts Center and Stifel Theatre.
