The new venue, known as The Luminary, is slated to open in 2025 and promises to revolutionize the symphony’s performance experience. The Luminary will be located in the burgeoning Grove neighborhood, adjacent to the iconic Forest Park. Designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, the hall boasts a striking and innovative architectural design that optimizes acoustics and audience engagement. With a seating capacity of 2,200, The Luminary offers a more intimate and immersive concert experience than the symphony’s current home at Powell Hall. The hall features state-of-the-art technology, including a flexible acoustic system that can be tailored to different musical styles. The symphony’s move to The Luminary represents a significant milestone in its history. It will provide the orchestra with a venue that meets its artistic and educational needs well into the future. The hall will also serve as a vibrant cultural hub for the St. Louis community, hosting a wide range of musical performances and educational programs. “This is a transformative moment for our orchestra and for the city of St. Louis,” said Marie-Hélène Bernard, Music Director of the St. Louis Symphony. “The Luminary will be the perfect home for our world-class musicians and will allow us to share the transformative power of music with our audiences in a way that has never been possible before.” The move to The Luminary is the culmination of years of planning and fundraising. The project has received significant support from the community, with major donations from local businesses, foundations, and individuals. “We are deeply grateful to our generous donors for making this dream a reality,” said Monica Mason, President and CEO of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. “The Luminary will be a testament to their unwavering commitment to the arts in our city.” As the symphony prepares to embark on its new era at The Luminary, it looks forward to welcoming audiences and continuing to inspire and enrich the St. Louis community through the transformative power of music.
