Win Tickets to See the Next St. Louis Symphony Family Concert

The St. Louis Symphony's series of Family Concerts are one-hour, informal performances perfectly designed to introduce your children to the symphony, and now you can enjoy a concert on us!

We're giving away four tickets to the Nov. 27 performance of The Nutcracker Meets Jazz, featuring pieces by Gershwin, Bernstein and Ellington. You'll learn how these classical and popular composers inspired these American greats. It's presented in partnership with Jazz St. Louis.

To enter to win the tickets, just leave a comment on this page or on our Facebook page, and we'll choose a random winner on Tuesday, Nov. 15.

Conductor Ward Stare told St. Louis Kids Magazine, in a story published in our Fall/Winter issue: “I think that hearing a great orchestra live for the first time makes a powerful and lasting impression on a young person. I know many adults who came to the symphony as kids and now bring their own children or grandchildren. Sharing this experience as a family is important for every generation.”

The Nutcracker Meets Jazz is the second in the series of four Family Concerts. Next on tap is The Magic Flute, a lighthearted tale of love and the art of bird catching. Opera Theatre of Saint Louis Young Artists will be performing during this special condensed version of Mozart’s legendary last opera on Jan. 15.

The final concert in the series, on March 4, puts a special twist on classical tunes with the help of online sensation Project Trio, Beethoven and the Boys. If you’re curious about this flautist, cellist and double bass threesome, check them out on YouTube.

For more information about the concert series, visit www.stlsymphony.org. Tickets start at just $7.
