Guest soloist and conductor make new energy flow for SLSO Opening a concert with a premiere is powerful: the first music heard in the hall that night marks the first time that music was ever heard in that hall. This weekend, guest conductor Anna Sułkowska-Migoń opened the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s program at Powell Hall with the St. Louis premiere of Grażyna Bacewicz’s “Overture.” A […]

Everyone performed like a famished person finally presented with food. Sitting onstage mostly watching Josefowicz work wonders on Berg had left everyone absolutely dying to play some music.🎻🎶✨

Kian Soltani burns on Haydn cello concerto without stealing thunder from Shostakovich  The program the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra is performing this weekend opens, deceptively, with a blast of quintessential feel-good music: Three Romances for orchestra by Clara Schumann. This is lush romanticism with a wall of violins, so consistently orchestrated (by Benjamin de Murashkin) it would serve as a good sleeper conductor’s audition. You want your conductor to […]

I have never seen a more vivid solo performance before an orchestra…

Slatkin returns to Powell Hall with Mozart, Elgar - and Slatkin For the first piece that he presented at the renovated and reopened Powell Hall, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra Conductor Laureate  Leonard Slatkin chose a composer he knows well and loves: Leonard Slatkin. Schubertiade: An Orchestral Fantasy – heard here in its U.S. Premiere – showed Slatkin as a storyteller in a magical realist mode. As Slatkin told a […]
