The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s autumn at Powell Hall begins in the classical heartland: Mozart and Schumann, October 16–17, 2026, in a program pairing Viennese light with Romantic depth.
Friday’s coffee concert (10:30 a.m.) and Saturday evening’s full performance open a run of weekends that define the SLSO fall — Denève’s Mozart is praised for its singing line and clarity, and Schumann gives the orchestra’s strings their autumn workout. For newcomers, this is the perfect first Powell Hall weekend: familiar names, the hall in its fresh-from-renovation glow, and Grand Center’s restaurants a block away for the full evening.
Start the season where the season starts.
Powell Hall is at 718 North Grand Boulevard. Tickets at slso.org.
