St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Marsalis' Fifth

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Marsalis' Fifth at Powell Symphony Hall

Some concert nights ask you to settle for one familiar sound. This one lines up three distinct works under one conductor. On March 13, 2027, at 7:30 PM, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra presents Marsalis' Fifth at Powell Symphony Hall, with Teddy Abrams leading Marsalis's Symphony No. 5 Liberty. If you like your evenings out to feel like an occasion, this program has a clear centerpiece.

Then comes the company it keeps. Abrams also conducts Copland's Our Town and Adams's Frenzy, so the night offers range as well as a headline piece. The listing also names JLCO and bass-baritone Kevin Short, which adds more to anticipate before the first note. That mix of composers and performers is what sets this concert apart from an ordinary symphony night. It gives you a program to look forward to and plenty to discuss afterward.

Hearing a new symphony performed live in St. Louis is a different experience from pressing play at home. It turns a Saturday-night plan into a shared outing, whether you bring a longtime concertgoer or a friend who wants something fresh. You choose the seat, you take in the performance together, and you leave with a night you were actually part of. If that sounds like your kind of March, reserve your seats for Marsalis' Fifth at Powell Symphony Hall and make the plan official.
