The Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra will be performing a matinee concert on Sunday, April 13.

About the performers:

Founded in 1880, the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra is recognized internationally, performing a broad musical repertoire with skill and spirit. In the 2006-2007 season, the Symphony continues to build upon its reputation for musical excellence while maintaining its commitment to local education and community activities.

In December 2003, the Symphony announced the appointment of its 12th and second American-born Music Director David Robertson. He began his inaugural season in September 2005, joining the Symphony after an 18-month international search. Prior to his Saint Louis Symphony appointment, Robertson was music director of the Orchestre National de Lyon and artistic director of that city’s auditorium.

The Symphony expanded its audience through frequent tours of the Midwest and the East and West Coasts in the 1980s and 90s. Tours to Europe in 1985, 1993 and 1998, and to the Far East in 1986, 1990 and 1995, spread the reputation of the Orchestra throughout the world. Appearances at New York’s Carnegie Hall continue to garner critical acclaim. Recordings by the Symphony have been honored with six Grammy Awards and 56 Grammy nominations.

The Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra was founded on the belief that great music should be available to everyone, and members have shared their love for music with millions and introduced classical music to those who otherwise might not have been exposed to it.
