CMS Students Selected for 2023-2024 St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra

The Community Music School of Webster University was once under the St. Louis Symphony umbrella as the St. Louis Symphony Community Music School. 

In Sept. 2001, the Community Music School joined Webster University and in fall 2006 moved to its headquarters on the Webster University campus. Its facilities included a concert hall, teaching studios, rehearsal halls, classrooms, and administrative offices. 

Nicole Springer, director of the Community Music School, shared her appreciation for the St. Louis Symphony. “The CMS is grateful to the St. Louis Symphony and their musicians for their continued support for the talented young musicians at our school. We are proud to share in their commitment to the next generation of professional musicians and enthusiastic audiences.”
