From KSDK: ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Symphony Orchestra‘s long-awaited return to Powell Hall is happening this September after two years of construction.
It’s been 10 years since the project designs and task force were formed, with funding coming from the state, family foundations and individuals. This will mark the 146th season of SLSO. A ribbon cutting will be held on September 19 followed by opening weekend, which is scheduled for September 26, 27 and 28. The project has a price tag of $140 million and a $15 million endowment fund.
This November will mark the 100th birthday of Powell Hall, so the facelift comes just before the celebrations. If you drive down Grand Boulevard right now you’ll see the Jack C. Taylor Music Center being laid brick by brick. The glass has yet to be placed in the window panes but you can see the progress each day as construction crews work to meet the timeline.
