St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra Season Finale

The St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra concludes its season with an expansive yet intimate program full of emotional contrast. Samuel Barber’s introspective, brilliant Violin Concerto opens with a stirring performance from violinist Samuel Wenger-Stickel, high school senior and winner of the 2026 YO Concerto Competition. Kaija Saariaho’s Ciel d’hiver follows with a shift in mood and atmosphere, as delicate orchestral colors evoke the quiet expanse of a winter sky. The journey culminates in the bold, impassioned drama of Jean Sibelius’ First Symphony, unfolding from a solitary clarinet call into a sweeping, triumphant finale fitting for the YO’s last performance of the 25/26 season.

Let the SLSO Youth Orchestra amaze you!
