It's 2025!

Give STL Day is our city's largest annual celebration of nonprofits and the support they receive from people like you. Each year, The Sheldon brings world-class music and art to our community through our concert hall, art galleries, and education programs.

The Sheldon has been a community gathering space for over 100 years thanks to grassroots support from St. Louisans — today, we ask that you help sustain the magic of live music in our concert hall by making a donation at givestlday.org.

Help us make music in 2025!

We threw a SOLID birthday party! Yesterday, The Sheldon and the Saint Louis Science Center, our partner in this program, celebrated 10 years of Science of Learning Instrument Design (SOLID). The event allowed families to enjoy the creative musical instruments created by their imaginative elementary school students. In the 10 years since the program launched, we have reached 244 schools and 28,168 students. Those are some pretty "SOLID" numbers! Congratulations to all of the students who had work on display!

Susan Werner at 8pm

Susan Werner composes skillful songs that effortlessly slide between folk, jazz, and pop, all delivered with sassy wit and classic Midwestern charm. Throughout her expansive career, boundless versatility has emerged as a hallmark of Werner’s talent, and has proven to be a quintessential ingredient of her engrossing musical personae. The New Yorker writes, “Susan Werner [is] a clever songwriter and an engaging performer, [that] brings literacy and wit back to popular song.”

This performance will take place in The Sheldon Ballroom. Seating is general admission, which means you can choose your seat in a first come, first served fashion. Doors to The Sheldon will open at 7 p.m. and seating in the Ballroom will begin at 7:30 p.m.'
