The Saint Louis Philharmonic Society will not be holding its annual Aspiring Soloist competition this year. The decision to forego this year's competition was extremely difficult, particularly given our deep commitment to supporting the incredibly talented young artists in the Saint Louis area. However, with the dangers inherent to the coronavirus pandemic, we were not certain we could hold the event with safe social distancing or provide a guarantee of the opportunity to perform with the full orchestra without jeopardizing the health and well being of our performers and audience. We anxiously look forward to a time when we can safely invite our local young artists to stand with the orchestra and make music together again!
