St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra Alumni
The St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra has made a significant impact on the region’s student musicians for nearly half a century. The SLSYO is proud to boast over 2,000 members since it was founded in 1970 by Leonard Slatkin. Currently, three alumni are members of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and many more have gone on to perform professionally with other major orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Kansas City Symphony, the Boston Pops, and the San Antonio Symphony. In addition to performing, many of our alumni have gone on to become music educators, teaching at local school districts such as Rockwood, Webster, Kirkwood, Pattonville, Clayton, and Parkway, and other schools districts nationwide.
