THE SAN ANTONIO SYMPHONY:
San Antonio's OTHER Major League Team
What makes the Spurs a major-league team of which San Antonio can be proud? The same qualities that make the San Antonio Symphony a major-league orchestra of which the community can be equally proud:
- Uncompromising commitment to excellence – The 77 star players of the SASO have dedicated their entire lives to scaling the heights of perfection on their individual instruments
- Teamwork – Each star player is also a member of the SASO team, performing together to create one powerful musical message
- Leadership – The SASO is the flagship performing arts organization of the city and world-class in quality
- Community service – We perform educational concerts for over 30,000 area school children each year, as well as free community concerts all over the region.
“Incredibly perfect performance including passion and great colors”
– international cello soloist, Alban Gerhardt
Excellence is Our Standard
The arts are essential to the development of metropolitan areas and our area is no exception. Our community's population is set to double in the next five years, and the arts will need to keep pace with that growth to continue to enhance the quality of life and attract more large corporations to San Antonio . As the cultural cornerstone of the region, the San Antonio Symphony must maintain and nurture its artistic vitality.
The San Antonio Symphony is the city's resident professional orchestra. Our impact reaches far beyond our home at the Majestic Theater. We educate, inform, entertain and infuse our community with music of the highest quality.
- Talent - Our musicians come from all over the world and have studied at the world's finest conservatories and universities. We also perform across the United States and around the globe - from Korea to South America to Europe and Israel.
- Service - Our performance season includes great classical repertoire, pops concerts, free community concerts and educational concerts.
- Regional Impact - We travel throughout South Texas to perform for the citizens of surrounding communities.
- Mentorship - Our musicians offer private instruction to hundreds of students throughout the region. We are faculty members at every major area university and work privately with younger students, as well as volunteering support for area public school music programs.
