Saint Louis Symphony Society (Saint Louis, Missouri).
Records, 1897-1982. 37 boxes; 18 volumes
The St. Louis Symphony Society was formed when, in the spring of 1890, the St. Louis
Choral Society (organized in 1880 by Joseph Otten) absorbed the St. Louis Musical Union, a
small symphonic group that was organized in 1881 by August Waldauer. Upon consolidation of
these two groups, the name of the Choral Society was changed to St. Louis Choral-Symphony
Society. In 1907, when Max Zach assumed the leadership of the orchestra, its choral section was
dropped and it became known as the St. Louis Symphony Society. The orchestra has performed
in five buildings: the first concerts took place in the Mercantile Library Hall; the St. Louis Grand
Exposition Hall, Olive and Thirteenth Streets, was its second home; near the turn of the century,
the Odeon at Grand and Finney; and in 1934 the orchestra moved to Kiel Auditorium. In 1968, it
moved to its first permanent home, Powell Symphony Hall.
