Each year, the San Antonio Symphony allows a limited number of middle and high school groups to attend rehearsals of the San Antonio Symphony at the Majestic Theatre. Students are able to witness how a professional orchestra rehearses while being exposed to masterpieces of classical music. They are also given a unique opportunity to interact with our new Music Director, Sebastian Lang-Lessing, and select musicians from the orchestra.
