Last week the St. Louis Symphony announced the extension of David Robertson’s contract as music director. Robertson, currently in his ninth season with the orchestra, will remain as music director in St. Louis through the 2017-2018 season.
“The symphony musicians’ extraordinary stylistic versatility, their passion and commitment to music making, and their basic human warmth make this a unique ensemble,” Robertson said. “I constantly feel enriched and inspired by them, whether on stage at Powell Hall, in concert halls around the world, or through their extensive community and education activities in St. Louis.”
