David Halen Tickets

David Halen has distinguished himself as a premier violinist and educator, serving as the concertmaster of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra since 1995. Named to the role without audition, Halen's leadership and artistry have helped shape the sound of the orchestra for decades. A Fulbright Scholar who studied in Freiburg with Wolfgang Marschner, Halen was the youngest recipient of the award, highlighting his early promise and lifelong commitment to musical excellence. In addition to his performing career, he co-founded the Innsbrook Institute and serves as artistic director of the Missouri River Festival of the Arts, shaping opportunities for emerging artists and audiences alike.

When he isn’t on stage with the SLSO, Halen shares his knowledge as a professor of violin at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance, a role he has held since 2012. His discography includes the noted Salut D'Amour (2006) with pianist Peter Henderson on AAM Recordings, a recording that captures the lyrical breadth of his instrument and interpretive voice. Halen’s career also includes leadership in festival settings and collaborations that bridge orchestral and chamber music communities across the Midwest and beyond.

Upcoming appearances bring Halen to intimate and notable venues in the region. Public 2025 engagements include a January 24 appearance at East Central College, followed by The Sheldon in March for Live at The Sheldon chamber programs with SLSO colleagues, and additional Sheldon Classics activity planned for October 2025. In 2025, the Powell Hall renovation prompted the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra to perform at Stifel Theatre, The Sheldon, and Touhill Center, offering new opportunities to experience Halen’s leadership and artistry live. The Sheldon has also featured streaming of his performances on Facebook and YouTube, making his concerts accessible to a wider audience online.
