About this Concert

Prepare for a fantastical adventure as the St. Louis Symphony Chorus and St. Louis Children’s Choirs join the orchestra in this whimsical program. Music Director Stéphane Denève and the musicians start with Poulenc’s uplifting choral-orchestral work, Gloria—one of the composer’s most celebrated accomplishments. Then, in Ravel’s imaginative tale of L’enfant et les sortilèges, clocks, chairs, and teacups all spring to life. The composer’s ability to convey the jesting, waltzing, and often outlandish characters is itself something magical.
