Aaron Eisenhauer

Aaron Eisenhauer is excited to join the Saint Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra for the 2026 – 27 season. Eisenhauer is a high school senior from Columbia, Illinois, and this will be his very first season in the YO. 

Eisenhauer has played the trumpet for over seven years. Some of his accomplishments during that time include being principal trumpet in the Illinois Music Education Association’s (ILMEA) District 6 Orchestra in 2025 and second trumpet in the ILMEA District 6 Jazz Band I that same year. He was also proud to be first chair in the Illinois All-State band in 2026, and he was the runner-up in the Belleville Youth Orchestra’s Concerto Competition during that year as well.  

Apart from playing the trumpet, Eisenhauer enjoys playing video games, and he has a fondness for all kinds of engineering and architecture. He is absolutely thrilled to play in such a great orchestra as the YO, and he would like to thank his parents; his private trumpet tutor, Dawn Weber; and his band director, Kristian Avise-Rouse, for making all this possible.
