2023 Concordia Symphony Orchestra Tour in St. Louis, Mo.

Admission is FREE for all concerts

The 55-member Concordia Symphony Orchestra is one of Southern California’s most engaging college orchestras. This “cathedral concert” will share professional repertoire in a format that invites the audience to reflect on Christian themes through inventive music curation and program flow. The tour concert will share the music of Bach interspersed with American composers Aaron Copland (Appalachian Spring), Christopher Rouse (Flute Concerto), Alex Guebert (“For All the Saints”) and John Williams (Far and Away). Each will provide musical insight about “peaceful contentment” (Vergnügte — a word Bach regularly used).
