The St. Louis Chamber Soloists was founded in 2021 as a 501c3 non-profit by four members of the St. Louis string community. The string orchestra performs without a conductor, and works collectively and democratically, which lends itself to dynamic and innovative interpretations of music old and new. Leadership is valued from each individual. Each musician is a leader and contributor; to play, plan, and promote the music as a collective. The group performs regularly throughout St.Louis and employs some of the finest local musicians. St. Louis Chamber Soloists concerts include standards of the string orchestra repertoire as well as music by contemporary and under-represented composers.
