Goldstein Commission

The highlight of our 2013 – 2014 season was the culmination of the Goldstein Commission project. Our March 16, 2014 concert included the world premiere of Andrew Boysen’s Symphony No. 7, Symphony for Sam, and the first annual award of the Sam Goldstein Commission French Horn Scholarship.

Heartland Commission

Our March 2016 concert featured the premiere performance of the second large-scale work commissioned by the Saint Louis Wind Symphony in three years. We are so very pleased that Julie Giroux, a highly respected composer of wind band literature, agreed to write “Symphony No. 5: Heartland Portraits” for us.
