The decor speaks for itself and then the music is just amazing! We visited and heard Beethoven's 9th. My husband and I had box seats gifted to us by a co worker. The seats were great though not very comfortable. We had a lovely time. Tips Arrive early- we were 10 minutes late and had to wait at the bar... More

We went to see the Saint Louis Orchestra with special guest performer Augustin Hadelich. It was all amazing. We enjoyed every minute. Powell Hall is a beautiful building, very deceiving from the outside. When you are headed to Saint Louis, this is worth checking out.

My boyfriend and I went to the Holiday concert last year. It was so much fun and we're definitely going back next year. The symphony was outstanding and having a bar didn't hurt!

Powell Symphony Hall is probably one of the more overlooked venues in St. Louis because it is overshadowed by the Fox Theater and the recently opened Peabody Opera House. In my opinion, the Powell has one of the best seating arrangements in St. Louis. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. We saw Hendel's Messiah there in December... More

Listening to the Symphony play the soundtrack for a movie while you are watching it at Powell Hall is an incredible experience. They should do more of this.

The acoustics are wonderful from any seat in the house! Don't be afraid of the upper level seats, the sound is wonderful at Powell Hall.

Powell Hall is one of St. Louis' greatest and most underrated attractions. The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra deserves greater national recognition as one of the best symphonies in the world. I've been to 9-10 performances of all kinds, and have been blown away by the quality of every performance. Besides the music, the building itself is a work of art.... More
