Each summer, the Classical Music Institute puts on a great series of concerts for their CMI210 Festival, bringing together San Antonio musicians and talent from out of town to create a unique chamber music experience. Part of that is the Teaching Artist Fellows program, where students from around the country fly to San Antonio to embed with CMI and professional mentors to both perform as well as to learn about pedagogy and practice teaching through working with younger student musicians.

At OSA we showcase masterpieces of the operatic repertoire with world-class productions at the Tobin Center along with an experimental second stage series that more deeply explores the art form in venues across the great city of San Antonio.

OPERA San Antonio’s mission is to produce opera of uncompromising artistic quality and to enrich our community through educational outreach and social engagement. The company is committed to preserving and sharing opera as an art form that is relevant, inspirational, and accessible to residents and visitors of all ages and backgrounds. The civic premise of OPERA San Antonio is that the community needs, and the citizens deserve, access to the major performing arts.
