Alessandro Circle

The San Antonio Symphony recognizes planned giving donors as members of the Max Reiter Society, named for our founding conductor. We thought it fitting to name our new premier giving circle after Victor Alessandro, his hand-picked successor. 

Maestro Alessandro led the Symphony through the lean post-war years and built upon its success each season through aggressive program expansion and community outreach efforts—efforts supported today by members of the Alessandro Circle.

Previously considered the top tier of the Maestro Society, donors who contribute annual support of $10,000 or greater together provide for more than 80% of contributed revenue each season. We thank these inaugural Alessandro Circle donors for providing 2011-12 season support for the Symphony to both grow and sustain excellent symphonic performances in an artistically driven and fiscally sound environment. Listing current as of June 2012.
