The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, which began in 1880 (second oldest in the United States) will make debut performances in Europe from September 4 through 7, 2012 at the Musikfest Berlin | Berliner Festspiele, the Lucerne Festival, and at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. An additional concert date in London is still to be announced. The concerts will feature works by Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, Schoenberg, Gershwin, Ives and Elliott Carter. This tour has received major dedicated funding from Monsanto Company and from several anonymous donors, which in combination with performance fees ensures a balanced budget for the tour.
This will be the symphonys first European engagement since 1998, which was led by the late Hans Vonk. The orchestra also toured Europe in 1978, 1985, 1991 and 1993. Acclaimed violinist Christian Tetzlaff will be the featured soloist during the tour.
