“Marvelous Music in a Magnificent Setting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra continues to reach new levels of performance. Last night they offered Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto and Brahm's 2nd Symphony. Robertson's personality and talent on the podium commands attention as he holds the orchestra in the palm of his hand (the one without the baton). And Radu Lupu, the pianist from Romania is absolutely amazing. I don't remember anyone ever playing that concerto so effortlessly. During intermission I stood in the balcony and marveled at the beautiful lobby. An evening at Powell with the SLSO is a must-do event in St. Louis.

“It will rock your world!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

I went on a lark and sooo enjoyed the musicians and music. Live symphony music is very engaging and relaxing. Don't miss this world class Symphony when in St. Louis.

I have been there thrice and I have loved it everytime! The acoustics are great and the place is grand but not flashy unlike the fox..if I had more money I would go more often.

“First Class!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

If you have a chance to hear this World Class Orchestra, dont hesitate. They have been around since 1880 and the quality and tradition is still there every week! Dress up, get some dinner, go to the concert, have a dessert and a glass of wine in the intermission...Make a great evening for yourself and someone you love! You might as well be in Paris :)

“Real symphony in a small market city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

Is the the Berlin Philharmonic? No, but you will enjoy your night at Powell hall and it won't empty your wallet. Not a bad sat in the house and there are many good restaurants nearby to enjoy a pre show meal.
