	Hughes - Work: Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra
		For years the SLSO had been trying to appeal to a younger audience, with only moderate success.
		Young adults 25 — 34 are a group that likes to socialize, so the seven18club positioned going to selected Symphony concerts as a fun night out as much as a chance to hear world-class music.
		And by branding the concerts as something separate from the Symphony, it became something that they could call their own.

	Symphony Orchestras - The Classical Music Beat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Full size orchestras may sometimes be called "symphony orchestras" or "philharmonic orchestras"; these prefixes do not indicate any difference either to the instrumental content or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different orchestras based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra).
		At first the orchestra was an aristocratic luxury, performing privately at the courts of the princes and nobles of Italy; but in the 17th century performances were given in theatres, and Germany eagerly followed.
		The orchestral symphony originated in the operatic overture, which in the middle of the 18th century began to assimilate the essentials of the sonata style.

		This is an audience that grew up listening to The Beatles and Hendrix and going to see The Stones and Kiss, so we figured if we talked to them in a classic rock vernacular we could get their attention.

		While the buzz in national and international music circles is that St. Louis is lucky indeed to snatch Robertson (he had earlier been rumored to be going to New York, or heaven forbid, Chicago), the new maestro said St. Louis may be underestimating itself.
		He soon was playing first horn in a district-wide elementary school orchestra and, in the seventh grade, jumped at the chance to conduct a rehearsal.
		Robertson said he now works in front of an orchestra about 36 weeks a year (down from 45 to 48 weeks a few years ago) and finds it difficult to indulge in his outside interests, which include bicycling and photography.

		For St. Louis, which has lost a string of corporate headquarters in recent years, supporting the SLSO could prove to be a crucial test; the orchestra has been an important source of civic pride.

		This recording was made in 1974 for quadraphonic LP release by Vox, during the period that Susskind was music director of the Saint Louis Symphony.
		And the London Symphony of 1926 was in no way equipped to handle them, leading to some seriously approximate playing.
		Knowing full well that his orchestra was not going to outpower such rivals as the Berlin or New York Philharmonics, Susskind concentrated on shaping and characterizing the music, thus the performance makes tremendous impact in subtly musical ways.
