The Sheldon Concert Hall is a historic landmark in the heart of St. Louis’ Grand Center Arts District. Originally built in 1912 as the home of the Ethical Society, the venue was designed by Louis C. Spiering, a noted architect of the 1904 World’s Fair. Often referred to as the "Carnegie Hall of St. Louis," the room is celebrated for its near-perfect acoustics and elegant Beaux-Arts architecture. Its intimate setting provides a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that has made it a premier destination for world-class performances for over a century. While famously a hub for jazz and classical music, The Sheldon is also a staple for top-tier stand-up and serves as a primary venue for the annual Flyover Comedy Festival. Notable comedians such as Maria Bamford, Kathy Griffin, Jeff Ross, and Janelle James have graced its stage, along with St. Louis natives the Sklar Brothers. Whether hosting legendary speakers or modern comedy icons, The Sheldon offers a refined experience for fans seeking high-quality entertainment in a historic midtown setting.
