St. Louis Civic Orchestra. Free Concert.

The St. Louis Civic Orchestra is celebrating its **76th season!** This accomplished, full size orchestra is comprised of both volunteer and professional musicians. We are invited to this free saturday evening concert in the beautiful First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood. This concert will feature the work of several of the most notable composers in classical music history. And the pieces include a fun and beautiful range of the symphonic repertoire. In addition, the concert will feature a violin concerto performance by the recent winner of the Florence Frager Young Artist Competition. This concert will be something to see and hear. There is free parking adjacent to the church in downtown Kirkwood. The orchestra will set aside excellent seating for our group to enjoy the performance together. We will have an optional dinner nearby for those interested. We'll eat at 5:15 at PJ's Tavern on Jefferson Ave. in Kirkwood, just a 3 minute walk from the church.
