The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1880 and is the second-oldest in the country after the New York Philharmonic. Its current home is the Powel Hall, a 2,683-seat theatre in downtown St. Louis. Besides giving regular performances at the Powel Hall, the St. Luis Symphony Orchestra also serves as the resident orchestra for the Opera Theatre of St. Louis.

Considered one of the best symphony orchestras in the country, the St. Louis Symphony has toured Japan and Europe, performs frequently at Carnegie Hall, records CDs, and has won seven Grammy Awards. Every year, the orchestra’s musicians give hundreds of free performances in schools, community centers, churches, and other places as part of the Community Partnership Program.
