Lindbergh High Orchestra partners with German orchestra to celebrate 60 years as sister cities

 

The Lindbergh High School Orchestra will take part in an exciting overseas collaboration over the next two years, playing alongside the Youth Baroque Orchestra ‘Die Telemänner,’ based in St. Louis’ sister city of Stuttgart, Germany. The LHS orchestra will preview its musical selections Dec. 12 during a holiday concert in the Lindbergh Auditorium, 5000 S. Lindbergh Blvd.
