Totentanz - A Town and Country Symphony Orchestra Halloween Concert

The Town and Country Symphony Orchestra is playing a Halloween concert, Totentanz, at the Saint Louis Art Museum on Saturday, October 24. It's a one-hour program, running from 7 PM to 8 PM, and it's free.

The title Totentanz is German for "Dance of the Dead," a theme that carries through the whole evening. The program pulls from two very different places: the orchestral score of The Phantom of the Opera and On a Dark and Windy Night. One is a high-drama stage classic, the other a moody, atmospheric piece, and both fit the Halloween mood. Hearing them side by side is the whole point of the night.

It's a short set, so you're in and out in an hour. The concert takes place in the Farrell Auditorium, inside the museum at 1 Fine Arts Drive in Forest Park. Since it's a free show, you don't need to worry about tickets in advance—they're available at the museum's welcome desks. If you're already planning a trip to the museum that day, this is an easy addition to the visit.

So, the Town and Country Symphony Orchestra takes the stage at the Saint Louis Art Museum on Saturday, October 24, from 7 PM to 8 PM. Admission is free, with tickets available at the museum's welcome desks.
