As the dog days of summer fade into autumn, the Metropolitan Orchestra of St. Louis is keeping the music going. Established in 2012, the orchestra provides seven concerts annually, four indoors and three outdoors during the spring and summer.

For the final two performances of its 30th season, the orchestra is taking the show on the road for “Love Is in the Air” on Aug. 30 at John Burroughs School, and on Aug. 31 at Kirkwood City Hall.

“Our free outdoor summer concerts began in 2020 to make classical music accessible to the public during the pandemic,” says Board President Art McDonnell. “The response was so positive that, five years later, we continue to seek opportunities for engagement and touchpoints within the greater St. Louis community.”
