The SLSO is Returning to Europe on a Five-City Tour, March 23-31

By Eric Dundon

For the first time since February 2017, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra musicians are packing their instruments, updating their passports, and going on an international tour. Music Director Stéphane Denève and the orchestra embark on a four-country, five-city tour of Europe March 23-31, representing St. Louis at some of the world’s top concert venues.

Where is the SLSO going?

The tour—the SLSO’s first European visit with Denève—includes stops at some of Europe’s most-celebrated concert halls and cities famous for its historic ties to classical music. The first stop is the Vienna Konzerthaus in Vienna, Austria , a city steeped in classical music tradition with ties to many of classical music’s titans: Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and others.

Home to the National Orchestra of Belgium, the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, Belgium , opened in 1929 and is the tour’s second stop. The SLSO’s appearance here concludes the annual Klara Festival, a weeks-long classical music festival that converges the world’s top classical music talent.

A newer venue, the Muzikgebouw Eindhoven in Eindhoven, the Netherlands , is the third city on the tour and is committed to social cohesion and connection.

The fourth stop of the tour, The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Netherlands , is one of the world’s top symphonic venues, known for its superb acoustics and home to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

The final stop on the tour is the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid, Spain , home to the National Orchestra of Spain and other ensembles. The largest classical music venue in Spain, the SLSO last visited this venue in 2017, part of a three-city tour of the country.

Who is going with the SLSO on tour?

The internationally acclaimed pianist and recording artist Víkingur Ólafsson will join the SLSO on tour. He has accrued more than 260 million streams of his recorded works for piano, ranging from the music of Baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach to minimalist luminary Philip Glass. Now one of today’s most sought-after artists, Ólafsson’s multiple awards include Gramophone magazine’s 2019 Artist of the Year, Opus Klassik Solo Recording Instrumental (twice), and Album of the Year at the 2019 BBC Music Magazine Awards.

A newer face to St. Louis, Ólafsson made his SLSO in November 2021, performing Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor with Denève conducting. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called described his playing as having “great clarity, precision and tunefulness,” while KDHX said his performance “simply could not be beat.”

Since Ólafsson’s debut in St. Louis, he and Denève collaborated at the New York Philharmonic in 2022 on Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G.

What will the orchestra perform?

Ólafsson will perform one of the most widely recognized piano concertos, Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor. Known for its dramatic opening, it appears in films, television shows, and video games, including Red Sparrow (2018) and Civilization V .

The concert ends with another orchestral warhorse, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances . Last performed by the SLSO in October 2019, Symphonic Dances is a "desert island” work for Denève. An orchestra showpiece, Symphonic Dances utilizes motifs from Russian church music throughout.

To open the program, Denève programmed a lesser-known work by Rachmaninoff’s Russian compatriot, Sergei Prokofiev: The Love for Three Oranges Suite. While performed only a handful of times at Powell Hall, the SLSO took it on a six-state tour in 1959 with then-Music Director Edouard van Remoortel.

Can I see the program in person?

Yes! St. Louisans can bid bon voyage to its beloved orchestra at a one-night-only concert at Powell Hall on Thursday, March 16. Ólafsson will make his second appearance in St. Louis to perform Grieg’s Piano Concerto.

Why go on tour?

Touring presents an opportunity to represent St. Louis and Missouri on the international stage. “It is an honor to represent St. Louis on the global stage, serving as cultural ambassadors for the city and country we so dearly cherish,” said Marie-Hélène Bernard, SLSO President and CEO.

Touring also allows the orchestra to hear itself in different venues and bring those experiences back to Powell Hall. St. Louis has the second-oldest orchestra in the country and sharing it with the world spotlights the city’s civic assets.

“St. Louisans have long known that the SLSO is world-class and now the world gets to hear firsthand what we are talking about,” Jason Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Greater St. Louis, Inc., said. “The SLSO will shine on the global stage and shine the spotlight on the tremendous cultural assets we have here in St. Louis.”

Has the SLSO toured before?

Yes! In fact, the SLSO has a deep history of touring that dates to the early 20th century. The SLSO first toured regionally, appearing in towns in Missouri and Illinois. Newspaper records indicate the orchestra made its debut in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, prior to World War I and has since visited the town 100 miles south of St. Louis more than 20 times.

The orchestra's first performance in New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall was in 1950. Regular performances at that venue have charmed critics and audiences alike ever since. Most recently, the SLSO performed John Adams' The Gospel According to the Other Mary at Carnegie Hall with the St. Louis Symphony Chorus as part of the composer's 70th birthday celebration.

International tours began in 1978 with the first European tour, including three concerts at the Athens Festival in Greece. In the more than 40 years since that first tour, the SLSO has given concerts in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The SLSO’s most recent international tour was a three-city tour of Spain under former Music Director David Robertson with violinist Gil Shaham and trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger in February 2017.

The SLSO also tours extensively throughout the Midwest, collaborating regularly with higher education institutions including the University of Missouri, Indiana University-Bloomington, the University of Illinois, and the University of Nebraska.

Eric Dundon is the SLSO’s Public Relations Director.

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra gets a warm welcome in Vienna

The SLSO is taking on Europe for the first time since the pandemic began. Audience response so far: Enthusiastic.

by Patrick Maynard

March 24, 2023

Stéphane Denève leads the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in Vienna, Austria, March 23.

Chris Tantillo likes to get lost sometimes. Clad in a hoodie at a cafe table in Vienna's Intercontinental Hotel on Friday morning, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra violist is describing some of the things that set easily navigable Missouri apart from the Austrian capital, where the SLSO began its European tour the previous evening. 

"It's a little more confusing to get around. Thank God for Google maps, which helps a lot," he muses. "But, that being said, there's also something to be said for just walking and just not really worrying about where you're going and just looking around and … just taking it all in. Instead of just going straight [to your destination], you pass by the basilica dome, or you see the beautiful fountain in the square, or just walk down a little cobblestone, hundreds-of-years-old road."

Tantillo is pleased after performing a program by three composers who left their homes for long stretches abroad: Grieg, Prokofiev, and Rachmaninov, the latter two of whom spent significant time in the United States in the 20th century. 

Opening with Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges suite Thursday evening, the orchestra, under the baton of music director Stéphane Denève, kicked off its Vienna performance with a piece that could come off as emotionally flat with some groups, transforming it for the better. Contrasts in both dynamics and tempi were clear and buoyant, even in the very back row of seats on the top balcony at the Wien Konzerthaus. It was obvious that Denève loved this condensed suite, having conducted the full opera in the Netherlands. 

After a slightly lengthy setup period—possibly a rare logistical hiccup in an otherwise smooth-so-far touring process—the orchestra backed soloist Víkingur Ólafsson in the Grieg piano concerto. In an interview with St. Louis Magazine earlier in the week, Denève had noted that Ólafsson took a somewhat nontraditional, "Lisztian" approach to the piece, and while that wasn't always immediately apparent in the hall, it was definitely audible in the first movement's rumbling, virtuosic cadenza. The group kept up with Ólafsson's at-times-liberal rubato admirably.

Pianist Víkingur Ólafsson performed two encores with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in Vienna.

Finally, the concert's program closed with Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, which, while perhaps somewhat less rehearsed than the other two works—Denève described as it being "a little bit more repertoire"—still constituted an incredible performance. Tantillo says the Rachmaninov may be his favorite of the three pieces.

"It's so massive; it's such a big sound world, and I don't think I had ever experienced anything quite like it before [when I first played it in high school]," he said of the composition, which includes ensemble piano, solo saxophone, and contrabassoon. "Also, the viola parts are pretty juicy in that one too, so it's gratifying to play."

With the exceptions of a few extremely rare moments—a woodwind squeak here, a slightly-less-supported quiet passage in the brass at the end of a long phrase—the playing was of an enormously high caliber, fitting for the United States' second-oldest orchestra. The audience responded accordingly, with audible shouting and extended applause prompting three encores: Piano pieces by Kaldalóns and Rameau, and an orchestral piece by Bizet. 

The orchestra will play the same program in its other European stops over the next week. 

That the hall was nearly full—the official report was 1,500 seats sold out of 1,800—was indicative of a respectful interest by audience members in the Austrian capital, especially for an orchestra that quick lobby interviews showed most had never heard before. Orchestras in Cleveland, Chicago, Boston and New York were more likely American touchstones for the crowd, based on informal polling, though both St. Louis and Pittsburgh made one-off appearances in the tally.

Still, the empty seats spoke perhaps of a lack of full recovery in audience numbers after COVID-19 in a city that is arguably the world capital of orchestral performance, where Denève says citizens' identities "are very intertwined with classical music." 

For some, pianist Ólafsson—who also has engagements this season with, among others, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and philharmonic orchestras in Czechia, New York, London and Berlin—was the main draw. 

"I saw him seven years ago," said Austrian audience member Monika Reitsmaier when asked about Ólafsson. Does she consider herself a fan of his? " Ein Fan? " A small wink, or maybe just my imagination. " Ja. "

Stéphane Denève is proud to bring St. Louis talent to European audiences

The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra is on its first international tour since 2017 — and its first under Stéphane Denève’s direction.

"I love the idea that we can show that music unites the world," the music director told St. Louis on the Air .

The tour started last week in Austria, moved to Belgium, then proceeded to the Netherlands. It concludes tonight in Madrid, Spain, at the country’s largest classical music venue, Auditorio Nacional de Música.

Denève said he enjoys the ambassadorial aspect of representing the Gateway City abroad.

“It's a joy because, let's face it, sometimes the news can sometimes be not the most flattering aspects, and I am so happy that we can change this narrative,” he said. “We go to embassies, we meet people, we have dinners after, and I'm always happy to explain the quality of life I have in St. Louis and the other great institutions there. It's a way to influence people to know better all that St. Louis has to offer and how much it is a music center in the U.S.”

"It's really special to be able to show who we are and to put St. Louis on the map,” he added.

Denève joined Thursday’s St. Louis on the Air to discuss highlights from the SLSO’s European tour , what it’s like to perform in different venues (“every hall is like a different instrument”) and what it was like to perform in Belgium, where Denève served previously as music director of the Brussels Philharmonic.

“I was so proud to show to the audience that I know very well there, and many friends in the room, why I made my musical home in St. Louis,” he said.

“By the end of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s concert Thursday night, stagehands had rolled giant instrument cases into Powell Hall’s lobby, preparing to fill them with precious cargo once the last note sounded,” writes Daniel Durchholz in Friday’s St. Louis Post-Dispatch (3/17). “The cases were packed with everything the orchestra would need for its European tour, which takes the SLSO to five cities in four countries over eight days…. The cases were … flown on a cargo plane to Luxembourg [and] trucked … to Austria’s Vienna Konzerthaus, for the tour’s debut March 23. The other venues and cities the SLSO will play are Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels; the Netherlands’ Muzikgebouw Eindhoven and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw; and Audiotorio Nacional de Música in Madrid. ‘I’m so proud of the orchestra. I think it’s a really great ambassador to show what the city really is,’ SLSO music director Stéphane Denève said in a recent interview. ‘It’s … a very important thing—for the orchestra, for the institution, because we are an international orchestra, we are at that level. And we have to show it, simple as that.’ Considerably less simple, however, are the months and even years that went into planning the tour.”
