St. Louis is an extraordinary musical community, which includes the world famous St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, two opera companies (Opera Theatre of St. Louis and the Union Avenue Opera), and an active new music and jazz scene. Washington University's central location makes it possible for our students to experience the rich offerings of these and other musical organizations throughout the city.

Please note that Hugh Macdonald will serve as acting chair for the 2008-2009 academic year. Please click here for his contact information.
