The Fabulous Fox Theatre, on North Grand Avenue, showcases Broadway Series, live concerts, dance performances and special events all year round. The Fox Theatre was originally built in 1929 for William Fox by theatre architect C. Howard Crane in a style known as Siamese Byzantine. After years of decline, the theatre was purchased by Leon and Mary Strauss and beautifully restored in the 1980s by Pantheon Construction Company. David Robertson officially began his tenure as the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra's 12th Music Director, when the season opened in September 2005. Robertson, the inspiring and charismatic American-born conductor, has received international acclaim for his ability to motivate audiences with his innovative programs. The Saint Louis Symphony celebrates the fact that it is an American Orchestra that gained international attention with an American conductor (Leonard Slatkin) performing an American repertory. As the second-oldest symphony orchestra in the United States, the Saint Louis Symphony honors its tradition of presenting stellar performers and captivating works for generations of concert-goers. The spectacular First Night takes place at Grand Center in style for a New Year's Eve celebration. Families, friends and visitors can enjoy a parade, mimes, jugglers, stilt walkers, fire-eaters, magic artists, live entertainment and numerous participatory art and theatre opportunities. The evening festivities include an early fireworks show for young families and the grande finale fireworks at midnight. First Night, a not-for-profit endeavor, was originally launched in 1976 in Boston, as an alcohol-free event created to provide the community with a unique alternative to the traditional New Year's Eve celebration.
