See Event DetailsIn their season opener, the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra and Music Director Samuel Hollister explore stories of celebration, reflection, and mystery. Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture turns scholarly tradition into a vibrant musical toast, blending playful student songs with rich orchestral color. Jennifer Higdon’s blue cathedral offers a poignant meditation on loss and transcendence, unfolding in shimmering textures and luminous harmonies. Elgar’s Enigma Variations closes the program with affectionate musical portraits of the composer’s friends, each variation revealing a personal world wrapped in a larger puzzle of identity and inspiration.
