What we’re about
Would you would like to go to classical and orchestral performances with others like you? You have found the right Meetup group.
Join us to attend concerts with a variety of orchestras, chamber music groups, vocal ensembles, university music programs, opera and more. (Did you know that in addition to our world class St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, there are 14 other orchestras performing regularly in the area?). Many of the concerts we attend are free to attend. And we often have a social gathering as part of our Meetup events. Whether you are new to classical music or a trained musician, you will be comfortable and enjoy our group.
Membership in the Symphony Meetup of St. Louis costs $5 per year, after a 60 day free trial, to offset the costs of the Meetup. We typically organize 25 to 35 events per year for members to choose from to participate. You can review past events and future schedules here on our Meetup pages. Join us for a musical adventure.

Stéphane Denève, conductor
Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, violin
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
Sergei Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 2As daylight wanes and the air turns brisk, reconnect with the warmth of the SLSO and two of the most exhilarating and romantic pieces in orchestral music. Danish violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider showcases his exquisite virtuosity as he soars through Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Then the orchestra demonstrates what Music Director Stéphane Denève describes as “love in sounds” in a performance of Rachmaninoff’s breathtakingly beautiful Second Symphony.
A few things to know about the music:
- Tchaikovsky wrote his Violin Concerto in a remarkably short amount of time, working for one week on the first movement and completing the entire work in only one additional week.
- After a less-than-successful First Symphony, Rachmaninoff battled internally with the idea of attempting another. When he took the leap, he still worked through months of revisions and paralyzing doubt. In the end, it was worth the struggle, as Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony has become one of his most celebrated compositions.
