About us
Would you would like to go to classical and orchestral performances with others like you? You have found the right Meetup group.
Join us to attend concerts with a variety of orchestras, chamber music groups, vocal ensembles, university music programs, opera and more. (Did you know that in addition to our world class St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, there are 14 other orchestras performing regularly in the area?). Many of the concerts we attend are free to attend. And we often have a social gathering as part of our Meetup events. Whether you are new to classical music or a trained musician, you will be comfortable and enjoy our group.
Membership in the Symphony Meetup of St. Louis costs $5 per year, after a 60 day free trial, to offset the costs of the Meetup. We typically organize about 50 events per year for members to choose from to participate. You can review past events and future schedules here on our Meetup pages. Join us for a musical adventure.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Our Symphony Meetup has made a nominal contribution to the TCSO for the 2026/27 orchestral season. You are encouraged to consider adding your personal donation, in ANY amount, as the number of individual donations helps the orchestra secure more generous grants from funding agencies. https://www.tcsomo.org/campaigns/friends-of-tcso/16 attendees
