2013-2014 Season Announced!

Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing announced the San Antonio Symphony’s 2013-2014 season today. The Symphony’s 74th season runs from October 2013 to June 2014 and will feature 28 Classics concerts, 12 POPS, a special concert celebrating the 75th anniversary of the San Antonio Symphony’s first performance, and a host of education and outreach programs. The 2013-2014 season is Maestro Lang-Lessing’s fourth season as music director. Tickets go on sale this week to current Symphony subscribers.

“Following our highly successful Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Brahms Festivals, we will feature the music of Dvořák in a winter festival in January and February 2014. Over the course of five weeks, the Symphony will perform five of Dvořák’s best-loved symphonies, his three major concertos, and, in a special collaboration with The Opera San Antonio, a concert version of Dvořák’s opera masterpiece, Rusalka” said Lang-Lessing. “As the winter festival grows each year, we felt the next appropriate step was to invite The Opera San Antonio for what we are sure will be a fabulous co-presentation of this amazing opera.”

“The season will open with one of the world’s most popular orchestral works, Pictures at an Exhibition and will include numerous other fabulous orchestral works,” said Lang-Lessing. “We are once again bringing some incredible soloists to San Antonio who will perform some fantastic concertos,” continued Lang-Lessing. “Audiences will be astounded by the incredible talent and musicianship of pianist Nicholas Angelich, cellist Jian Wang, and Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth, to name just a few.”

Subscribers may purchase all 14 programs in the 14-concert Masterclassics series or seven concerts in the Ovation or Applause series. For more information, please call the Symphony Box Office at (210) 554-1010.
