St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Bernstein and Copland

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Bernstein and Copland at Powell Symphony Hall

Some evenings are made for sitting in a great hall and letting an orchestra do the talking. On April 10, 2027, at 7:30 PM, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra brings Bernstein and Copland to Powell Symphony Hall in St. Louis. The program reaches beyond those two names. Stéphane Denève conducts Simon, Copland, Stark and Bernstein, so the night offers variety, contrast and a few discoveries to talk about on the way out.

Then there are the people who shape it. Scott Andrews is the clarinet soloist, which gives you one musician to follow as the music moves from the full orchestra to a single voice. Erin Schreiber introduces Vesper Flights, adding a personal touch to a program that is more than a run of familiar titles. It's a good reason to go with a friend, a partner or anyone who likes to hear something new alongside something beloved.

One detail is worth knowing before you plan your night. West Side Story Symphonic Dances is not the complete musical. This is an orchestral concert, built around the music itself, played live in the room rather than staged as a theatrical production. If that's the kind of evening you want, put it on your spring calendar now. Find your seats for Bernstein and Copland at Powell Symphony Hall and give yourself a night out with an orchestra.
