St. Louis Symphony: A Baroque Christmas
Bach heralds the holidays. The Orchestral Suite No. 3 gleams with the sound of trumpets and drums, while the Sinfonia from Christmas Oratorio captures a quiet pastoral beauty. Two SLSO musicians take center stage for concertos: Alejandro Valdepeñas on viola and Ann Choomack on piccolo. Start your December with Baroque splendor in the warmth of Washington University’s distinctive Art Deco building.
