SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Symphony announced today details of new plans for its 2020-21 performance season, with Brett Mitchell returning to lead its season finale in June 2021.
The [San Antonio Symphony] will offer socially distanced in-person concerts beginning in February 2021. Plans will be announced for new streaming attendance options in the coming weeks. All performances will be held at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts.
“We have an incredible season of music that we’re extremely proud to share with our community. The safety of our audiences, musicians, and staff remain our top priority. We’ve reprogramed our concert offerings to meet the guidelines set forth by both local government and health professionals,” said Corey Cowart, Executive Director. “We look forward to welcoming our patrons back to the hall this February, both in-person and virtually. All of us here at the Symphony are excited to return to serving our community through music.”
The SAS and Tobin Center for the Performing Arts are implementing additional safety measures for in-person attendance, including increased sanitizing of high-touch surfaces, easy access to hand-sanitizing stations, enforcement of social-distancing guidelines, use of masks, touch-less ticketing, temperature checks, and special audience-routing throughout the Tobin Center.
Mr. Mitchell was scheduled to lead a subscription program of works by Missy Mazzoli, Mozart, Prokofiev, and Ravel with the orchestra on March 13 and 14, 2020, but the performances were canceled after the dress rehearsal due to COVID-19.
Mr. Mitchell will now lead the final subscription program of the orchestra’s 2020-21 season, presented on Friday and Saturday, June 4 and 5, 2021. The program will be:
HONEGGER - Pastorale d’été
PIAZZOLLA - Four Seasons of Buenos Aires
Sarah Silver Manzke, violin (Associate Concertmaster of the San Antonio Symphony)
MOZART - Symphony No. 29
