Photos: St. Louis Symphony Orchestra Performs in Madrid, Spain

By Eric Dundon

The final stop of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra's 2023 European tour felt familiar. That's because the the orchestra's most recent tour in 2017 included the same venue: the Auditorio Nacional de Musica in Madrid, Spain.

The reception by the Spaniards was warm and inviting, memories of the 2017 performances still swirling in the heads of many.
