Since its inception during the 2011/2012 season, SymphonyCares has allowed the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra to live out its mission of enriching peoples’ lives through the power of music by providing free performances for those who may be unable to attend a concert at Powell Hall. SLSO musicians perform at various locations throughout Greater St. Louis including cancer centers and assisted living centers.
Working with our strategic partners – including Saint Louis University and Maryville University’s Music Therapy program, the SLSO has also been involved with many exciting and groundbreaking programs and research studies. The results of these studies indicate the positive impact of music on our physical and mental health including lower blood pressure, improved memory, reduced stress, and even a decrease the intensity of pain we feel.
